This Part 1 video is going to cover some critical topics about no prep and back of the track racing. I am excited about sharing many following videos for setting up the entire suspension of your drag car. We will talk in specifics about front end setup, rear setup, center of gravity, 4 link bars, shock valving, weight bias, power management, and so much more. Remember is all about the full combination, the recipe, of your car, and track/street surface. Stay tuned and please give this a thumbs up and leave a comment!! Go Fast, Go Straight! Be Safe!

Man I’m glad “the old man” pointed us in your direction, I just watched a team z video on chassis tuning, I geek out on this stuff and don’t even have a car yet. I feel that I’ll be ready when the time comes for when I build one.

@johnschiefelbein917 2 года назад

Very interesting and Kevin does an outstanding job of taking his time explaining all the facets in getting to the fundamental basis so you can begin to understand what it all takes to set up a car to race in todays world of racing. Far different from when I raced in 1968. I relate to Kevin's father street racing in 1967-68 and NHRA racing rules. Fun to learn all this 50 years later! John Erwin

I'm very excited about this series! I subscribed to you a while ago when we started setting up my dad's 34 Ford pickup for No Prep racing just to glean as much information as I could and apply it to our program! We're running a very old-school setup; front buggy spring and friction shocks with a ladder bar and rear Viking double-adjustables. 35 front/65 rear weight bias. 871 roots-blown big block Mopar. I'll definitely be watching every video from start-to-finish to pick up any tip I can!

Yeah Kevin I’ve been watching SRC for a couple or more years and SRC Garage since Bill started his channel and between Bills knowledge and the way he does everything and apply that to Billy’ and Tommy’s skills and they have one hell of a program period!!!! I’m right here in Summerville (Lincolnville) not far from your shop. I’d like to catch ya sometime when you aren’t busy. I wanna setup my 1990 box bed Sierra for no prep, back of the track.

@TrampusWingo 2 года назад

Man, this is a fucking fantastic idea here. I’ve been doing all I can think to find more information about ballast and suspension set ups over the last few months, and I can say with confidence if you don’t know what you’re looking for, you’re completely screwed. There isn’t very much information available to you if you’re not sure what questions to ask. So many questions… not the least of which is how can I become competitive without having a mid 5 sec race car? I’ve really been struggling with that one…

No prep easy setup lose frontend more suspension travel in the front less tire pressure on the rear been doing no prep for years the best thing to do is get your car too hook on a no prep track them you have a good start

@KevinWilsonSBC 2 года назад

Your right foot is definitely the most critical part of power management, especially when it comes to you living to race again! Yeah.. power management through the hit and getting the rear to stick before pouring the coals to it is a big part of winning, especially back of the track stuff. Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!!
