I have worked on a midget car team and would like to know some information. In midget cars, there is a universal stagger that works. It is a 3 inch stagger from the right rear to the left rear. Do you think that would work in a dirt stock car. A dirt stock car is twice the weight at the very least. I'm afraid that the balance will be too dis-similar for it to work.

Before you can ask if there were only 19 teams, there were only 19 stock car teams. There were too many differences between the pro-stock, late-models, and modifieds for them to be of any7 use. I only asked dirt stock-car(Hobby stock) teams.

Hey FordRacing2 - Welcome to FTE.
If you give me until this evening, I'll get you a better answer from my hubby.
We had a dirt car for many years and I know the rear wasn't where it belonged (on purpose). I don't know if this is what is called stagger.
If you plan on adding any foreign parts (non-stock items) to the car, you'll need to check with the track rules.
One thing that makes a huge difference is how the weight is allocated and what tire pressures you use. I don't think any our our tire pressures were the same and got changed depending on how wet the track was.

Sounds like getting secrets from racing teams is like asking your buddy where his favorite elk hunting area is...................
Talk to this guy - he's still racing V8 60 flatheads in midget racers. I'm sure Rich can answer your questions.
