i've got some tips that can help you if you are willing to read them.
tip#1:air up your rear tires to the air pressure that you run them at and take a measuring tape and place it in the middle of the tire and wrap it all the way around the tire getting the circumrerence of the tire.which ever tire is taller put it on the right side for better turning in the corners.
tip#2:if you are runnung on a slightly banked track and you have artermarket aarms that have a camber adjustment on them adjust the right front tire to lean to the left a little bit so the whole bottom of the tire will be on the track instead of just 75 to 80 % of the tire.this will also help you turn better to the left.
tip#3:if you don't have a camber adjustment on your aarms you can just adjust your tierod to where the right front tire is turning left at a very slight angle,but not so much that you can't hold it in the straightaways.
tip#4:if you have time to practice before you race and you feel your left rear coming off the ground in the corners add air prassure to the right front to push it back on the ground.
if your left front wants to come up with you off the corners add air pressure to the right rear to help push it back to the ground.
tip#5:i always start out my quad with 10lbs of pressure in both right side tires and 9 in the left rear and 8 in the left front.if you have time to practice start out with these tire pressures and see how the quad feels.if any of the things happen that i mentioned in tip#4 adjust accordingly.if the quad is hooking up to good in the corners and tends to be a little tight add pressure to the rear tires to loosen it up.if the rear end wants to come around on you in the corners adjust the tire pressure down in the rears to tighten the quad up a little bit.
tip#6:always keep your right side tires with more air pressure that your left side.a good handling quad can beat a horsepower quad anyday.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
and if any of these tips help you and you win i want to see a pic of the trophy.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

I wasnt sure if I should still use tire pressure differences since I have a sway bar or not.So I sohuld? Last year I done just what you said. sligh tilt to one shock and tire pressure actually set here for 5-6 lbs in rear, ill do just that and make one tire with more air and measure it up....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] this is a short track,but afast running track. I have got a little practice on it dry, never with it wett I will get one pratcie run before the race, I do know that they run Hooseir mostly here but this is thelast race for the summer track so I will be using mainly Turf Tamers on the VERY small short track this fall. We have a TT ttrack being built that will be ready iin March..FINALLY., a track thatwont make us feel like sardines.........lol......... Ill email you a few of my pics if you like if and when I win......[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Tina
