Weight Tuning

The slide presentation I call Box On Wheels steps through the basics of tuning a car’s weight balance to optimize traction for maximum acceleration. The slide presentation explains when and why the adjustments are needed. The basics of how to make the correct tuning calls is covered.

Once a car’s Center of Gravity (CG) is located using the methods in the “Locating Center of Gravity” page, the CG should be adjusted as race conditions change the available traction.

How to use my Slide Viewer

The slides are best viewed fullscreen, but will function on smaller formats. The following image shows the paging methods. There are Page Back and Page Forward buttons midway up each side. There is also a numeric input and GoTo button to go to a specific page. The table of contents is on page 1. The slide section titles in the table of contents are clickable to skip to the section.
