Steering Modification
I tried to post this but may have made an error in the process
Last year my car got killed at the Goodguys Autox shootout, after watching the video about a million times I figured we were losing a ton of time in the U turns.
The course at the shoot out had (7) U turns. My car as configured had a maximum inside tire steer angle of only 23 degrees. I decided to fabricate some new steering arms that would bolt in to the existing holes on the
front of the upright. I made two jigs RH and LH and finished the arms today, I now have 30 degrees inside turn angle and 100 % ackermann steering with excellent bump steer and much faster steering. I can't wait to try it in March at the first autox, should be a big improvement on tight courses. The attached picture shows both jigs and the steering arms bolted in place.
