Subject: [F500] Longer Suspension Pucks
Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2006 20:53:04 -0600
I think that there is a lot of mis-understanding about the proposed longer
pucks. It is not about getting more travel it is about getting a longer
linear range & less significant changing of the rates near the end of
travel.
This was not intended to just put the longer pucks in & you are done. It
would nessitate the design of new rockers & would simplify the design of
the
spring cans.
The purpose of this proposal was to make it easier to get decent wheel
rates.
Another point is that you do not have to run 3 inch long pucks you can use
any
length UP TO 3 inches. Change is not necessary at all if what you have
works.
After the Runoffs I will post actual data on the F500 site for all to look
at
& you will see that it will be much easier to get controlable wheel rates.
Our current car compresses the puck betwenn 2 FLAT plates. No tapered
recievers, compression plates or cans at all.
In any case we are moving on from F500 after this season & my goal was to
try
to help F500.
Thanks ... Jay Novak
