Awesome mate it's great that you are showing your knowledge and passion for the technical side of drag racing. You are showing people who don't know how complicated it can be to run a fast car down the track let alone factoring the track conditions such as temperatures and air density. This is a good introduction into the sport. Keep them coming mate you are entertaining to watch everything get up to.
I have a huge appreciation for this channel. It made a lot of sense and I really enjoyed it. I look forward to coming on the journey to see these chariots rip down the strip!
Awesome explanation Luke,just forgot to mention the weight of the HUGE BALLS ,of anyone man enough to pilot a torano down the quarter in 6 second bracket!as always, Kindest Regards, Dave McLaughlin, Queensland Australia
Great info and vid there Luke, unlike most builders they don't strap Their arse into what they have built. If its on your car and you want it (in a short LJ!!), it's golden mate.
Fairly decent explanation on the white board, a couple of minor points weren't 100% but for the most part very well presented. Someone who doesn't know a great deal about suspension should be able to follow that. Knowing something is one thing, being able to explain it in a way that others can understand it is quite another. You did well.
The very obvious is a Watts or a Panhard. A long Panhard will bind far less and sideways movement is negligible. Panhard at the centre of the diff tube will create little hassle. The four link is way too narrow, accentuates the bind Your main links should be equal upper and lower of the diff tubes. It seems drag cars go out of their way to bind up the suspension!
The width is what’s left over when you stuff big tyres under a small car, not much choice there! Most of the circuit cars I’ve built I’ve usually gone with a what’s link, but there’s not enough room in a drag car. Also there’s nowhere near enough room to get a panhard rod long enough that it doesn’t push the diff across. A lot of old drag cars I’ve worked on you have to disconnect the panhard rod to get the wheels off because they swing so badly.
@LDN Wholesale these what I would almost call a 5 link are all the rage right now, every man and his dog are using them. What I don't like about them is the rear heim joint is side loaded in a sheer direction that is the most weakest. I would almost like to see that rear heim joint replaced with a beefy universal joint. It could accommodate far more angular movement and be stronger than a heim. Second choice I would go with a Watts link, but that can be difficult if you don't have the space to do it properly.
G'day Luke how goes it.you still contemplating putting bump-in back on the streets.if so will it be content I think it would be cool to see someone doing the opposite thing as to building it I guess.. something totally different I haven't seen anyone do it ..
@@motorfab sick I think it would make an awesome street rod it's not going to be a trailer queen just taking it out for a couple of shows a year love to see her on the street ..
A channel called Engineering Explained does some pretty cool white board tech stuff. He draws it all up before he films but he's more about the tech side and that's about it. Anyway, you did a good job, it was very interesting. I've always been into motorbikes and track cars so corner speed was always my focus but learning about the geometry of drag racing from this channel on 2 awesome aussie cars like the Torana and my all time favorite the Monaro is very cool. You explain it well. Can't wait to see her goin down the track. You'll hit 10k subs before you know it I'm sure. Cheers

Thanks mate, really appreciate the great feedback! Yes there is a lot to it.

Don’t worry about that part, I’ve got it covered! Throttle’s on the right! That’s all ya need to worry about lol
Awesome technology in finding your center point of chassis etc.

Very informative thanks Luke. Explained in a way that's quite easy to follow. Good work, look forward to more of these type of episodes. 👌👌
Thank you for such great feedback
Gooood discussion man, and great way to explain instant centre 👌🏻
Fantastic mate loved that tech session

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! A lot to it at that end of the field!
Love the tech tips very cool, can't wait to see her run
The Torana is definitely going to be a weapon 🔥
Thanks buddy
Always good to watch
Thank you.
Wow

Good explanation of invisibility
Enjoy your work
Thank you

I think when the Torana is done, we will build the Monaro into a full street car. 😉

Makes sense to me!! Big changes either way will tell you what's going on!!! Then fine tune.... as you already know!
Thanks for the lesson, a different way of thinking than what I learned about running slicks growing up for sure
Love the fab work and appreciate the technical info, cheers
Nice to see that you are using imperial bolts!!!!
Very interesting.. enjoyed that..
It would good to see some stuff on pinion angle and how that works with all this
You’re a weapon! Good to see a bloke that likes to share info🤙🏼
Thanks legend. Just want to help where I can.
Love the car👍
How quickly does the swivel and extension wear the moving part of the track locator
Loved it do more really easy to understand
Thank you for the great feedback.
All good mate
Great information well explained. Thanks Luke.
Thanks mate. Really appreciate it.
