    After doing modified tires for years.....a 1/4 inch stagger can make a difference. To the tune of like 1 to 1.5 round in or out in left rear spring adjustment (dependent on how touchy the chassis was). I actually used 1/8 inch as my owest or base increments in checking and creating stagger. Anything less than that I was getting into the tolerance of the measuring process and tape measure. Very touchy on Modified Race Cars. After driving a modified, the late model will feel like a taxi cab.

      There's a few different ways and most people won't seem to share any info on how they go about it.
      For me, I use the Racing Radios GoPro adapter and just plug it into my GoPro. 😉 It's not a cheap route, but it does work well.

    It's a steep learning curve. But you're making leaps and bounds of improvement. Keep grinding and wait for the end of the year, when you got some modified trophies, to look back and see how far you've come. 👍🏻

    Kind of like breaking a wild horse.Once you break her she will be your best friend.No fenders,got to adjust to that .Man you are doing a fine job,smooth,on and off throttle .When you were racing that #42,you did a great job,that was cool.Nice job Landon,brought her home ,clean,dude you are going to be top 10 soon.I know that was a bit intimidating but you raced really good.Can't say enough about your #98 Crew,they worked hard for you,and it paid off.Again nice job

    #1 thing I noticed on the in car, that right front had 3 or 4 good chunks taken out of it with the contact you made. It's a wonder that thing held up... This is Patrick Emerling's 2022 qualifying run at New Smyrna. ruclips.net/video/Dfg4uCMVotA/видео.html Indulge me and watch his hands. That will tell you a lot about how your driving style has to change for the mod. Very smooth from entry to center, no fighting the wheel, just a smooth turn in. Then he opens it up the second he throttles up and dances the car off the right rear. When these cars are right, you don't have to force that car to corner very much, it's a light touch... For your first week of modified racing, you handled yourself REALLY well Landon, I hope you plan on running a few SMART Tour events because I think you're gonna grow to love these things.

    I told you theses cars are a handful! you gots to be on your game, but keep going you will hone your driving skills!
    Even in iRacing these are tough to run! tire management is key as well! someday I will have to tell you about running one of these on a cold fall night there the tires looked like 'Glazed Donuts' at the end of the Main Event (Feature) on a half Mile high bank oval....that really was a scary deal as we finished 5th in a 20 car field!

    @mitchdrew9005 4 месяца назад

    Really impressive how quickly you adapted to modifieds. These things are monsters and can take everything from you in a split second. Everyone I’ve ever seen come from a different discipline struggled pretty bad, but you seem to have a good grasp on it immediately, just natural talent. Excited to see you run more this year, think you guys will have some solid performances.

    It was great watching your progress all week. I did notice from watching flo and several pictures on night 1 ( for you) those rear rotors were glowing. You dont see that on a Mod very often, as its usually verry tight when you have to put that much rear brake into it. For your first time out, you did great! She got back in one piece and now its onto night 2!

    I saw most of your races in person that week and thought you did a damn good job considering tour mods are quite a bit different than what your used to. You’ll get it…just keep grinding! It was great to meet you, and the bonus for me was I just got to see myself (from afar) in one of your videos…lol!

      Modified engines are spec engines from NASCAR. They are all around the same price no matter the engine builder. Shamrock motorsports stepped up so we could keep racing!
