Until I get around to obtaining a current rule book I will ask the list for comments on wheel arrangements in the Competition Coupe and Sedan Classes. Three questions follow gang. Some of the latest
Nothing has changed on that part of the rule book. Old requirements still apply. Tech inspectors will be the final say on such narrow or staggered arrangements. Better examples of staggered are Al Te
Hmmm, never thought of that idea for a Comp Coupe before. Now, since your stuck with some sort of rear body width anyway my question would be Why? Sort of like flying with your wing backwards, Eh. Jo

It's changing the area of the side view of the car that effects the CP. Inline fronts would probably not help that. Unless you put Jack's fronts on the car and then it would? Still don't think it's
<< Skip(There is NO dopey thinking when bench racing!!!!!!!) >> Sorry about the dopey term! The short wheelbase required on a modified sports doesen't allow good entry lines with inline wheels. You m
Narrowing the front to move Cp to rear is not dopey at all. But MS cars don't usually have a CP problem do they? Most look like streamliners anyway (cept mine which actually looks like a car and with
