Yes, wheel travel is required for a lumpy track!  Your Magnum buddy must have a screwed up set up under that car... :shruggy:
Roll couple theory.  #cookbook

ahh, yes, the inch thick book for Chassis Set Up that George Wallace gave me...   Lovingly called "The Cookbook", by him.
Makes a good read for the savvy.  :2thumbs:
I've never owned anything but a MoPar. Can you say that?

This is a 1970 setup from IRP from Terry Nichels' car showing the torsion and sway bar shocks and rear springs.   Looks pretty neutral.    Probably a good place to start for a road course.

I assume this was the #99 Terry Nichels USAC Charger 500?

Yes, but at the time running #12.   Same car.   

On that setup sheet, the engine identification "TN-3" = Terry Nichels.  

The post card shown is from that exact race.

Terry's car was often driven by Verlin Eaker, shown here at Milwaukee.   The car was crimped often.   It still managed to live on into the mid 70's with a newer Charger body.

Putting some new rubber on to get it dragged off track.

Note pass side bars curve out...   :Twocents:
