in the wet you usually take off/disconnect the rear sway bar to put a bit of compliance into the chassis.
i can't wait for the video.
Mr. H-
Good to hear from you Sir, you don't visit Team Slotus near often enough! In this case, there was quite a bit of body roll, which was nearly lifting one rear tire (felt that way, anyhow) and then we'd spin. I've stiffened up the springs on both ends enough to reduce the roll a good bit. This has helped the rear grip, but still not good enough.
As it sits now, the Slotus doesn't have any sway bars fitted. I'm thinking of putting a bar on the front, where there's still a bit of roll, and keep the back end from waggin' around. Probably not until after the next event, in early December. And then I have to fund Santa Claus and all of the holiday fun, and then we'll buy some new stuff for the race car.
We's a-workin' on that video. This whole "video editing" thing is new to me...
Thanks for stoppin' by, Sir!
Take Care-

A skid pad exercise might be just the thing!
have been sorely disappointed. No underwear was ruined in the making of this car... YET...
