How do you cheat at circle track racing?
Throughout history, racing has been about cheating. In the highest circles where tech inspections are strict cheating is less fluent - IRL, F1, etc. - but it still takes place. However, we aren't talking about the highest circles, we are talking about circle track which is all about cheating and getting away with it - if you aren't cheating you aren't going to win or even finish mid pack. Here are the most popular cheats: - Make aftermarkt parts look stock - Tire size matters. Purchasing wider tires and rebadging them as a smaller size, running a shorter/taller tire/rim for gearing reasons, etc. - Brake bias, in classes that do not allow brake proportioning valves. Stock, 70% of your braking force is on the front tires which just causes the nose of the car to push on a dirt track. *Partially* blocking the front brake lines with a BB will help this. Running a stock brake proportioning valve from a 4 wheel disc brake car on the same chassis car equipped with rear drums will bias braking toward the rear. Cutting away part of the front brake pad so there is less braking force on the front wheels also works. - Check out Davis Technologies traction control. Pricey, but proven. - Corner weighting. You can do really crazy things like moving engine position in classes where shock/spring tuning is allowed. - Revalving shocks in classes that do not allow suspension modifications. A lot of the OE shocks can be cut open and re-valved if you are crafty. - Torque converters. Check out TCI's "stock appearing direct drive" torque converter, it's a light weight fluidless unit that fits inside a stock converter's housing. They were made EXPRESSLY for circle track cheating. Less drivetrain loss = more power to the ground. - Lightweight rotating assembly ($$$), primarily crankshaft/flywheel/torque converter. - Pertronix makes some Ford and GM ignition modules that charge the coil with a higher voltage to increase spark intensity. Most modern vehicles don't need ignition system upgrades, but if you're still fooling around with pre-90s iron it's a good idea. - Mix your gas with 20-25% nitropropane. It's undetectable unlike other solutions. Hope this helps! "I'm going to sit here and lie to you - I'd never cheat" - Robert Yates "I always told my guys, 'Cheat neat and you'll get by with a bunch of stuff.' I don't particularly tell my guys to cheat. I just tell them not to get caught." - Richard Petty "There's a difference in cheating and creating. I was creating." - Junior Johnson "Over half the 1970 NASCAR rulebook was dedicated to me" - Smokey Yunick "I know they are cheating because I am cheating and they're beating me." - Richard Petty
