Have you ever wondered what they mean by a nascar being tight vs loose? While it is not simple; here is the simple explanation. This occurs when the front wheels lose traction before the rear wheels. It causes the stock car to have trouble steering sharply and smoothly through the turns as the front end pushes towards the wall. This occurs when the rear tires of the stock car have trouble sticking in the corners.
This causes the car to fishtail as the rear end swings outward while running through the corners. You also have the option to opt-out of these cookies. But opting out of some of these cookies may have an effect on your browsing experience.

This is known as adding or subtracting wedge. Last reply by DanTheMan? Fan Sep This affects the way the racecar handles. I guess that makes me the butler. A slingshot is when a car following the leader in a draft suddenly steers around it. This breaks the vacuum and gives the following car an extra burst of speed that propels it into the lead. No other work is done to the car. Get out. I gotta go.
