Default flat track setups

hows everybody setting up their quad for 1/2 mile flat track banked ovals.? I have lowering kits on the yfz450 , wheel spacers and anti roll bar.. ive heard of putting spacers on the right side wheels only to keep the center of gravity more on the left tires.. just wondering what mods and adjustments most people like..

You are on the right track. I leave my left to right spacing even. You want to use the sway-bar to put more weight on the left side. Track conditions will vary the amount of stagger. You will probably run abound 70/30 or 60/40 distribution.

I have ran little dirt flat tracks for about 5 years. I just, this summer started racing big clay tracks. 4th and 5th gear racing is so much more fun then 2nd and 3rd.

when you say stagger , are you talking about tire stagger such as difference in tire sizes.? or stagger as in bigger spacers on one side.?
