- This was my fifth race with the new metric frame street stock and this joker is really giving me a hard time. I returned close to my original setup and thought we had a good car for the night but boy of boy was I wrong. This race Car would not turn at all after cranking in some more bite and made for a long night.

In my opinion Jay, I feel it would be helpful to allow the car to roll over more onto the right rear, and get your bite that way. You will only continue to get a terrible push with that much left rear bite into the car. I would generally run between 50 to 100 pounds of static left rear bite, and the more you can get the car to roll over onto the right rear, you will get all the bite you need that way.
Keep up the struggle videos, you're the only one I've found that shows the details.
Also, if you move your added weights up to your waist or shoulder height, it will change your role center a bit and allow your car to roll over onto that right rear which is where you want the bike to come from. ✌️
Personally, when you were mad you were driving on the RR, it looked like you were hustling it pretty good to me.
Keep up with the content even through the struggle, look forward to it 👍
I would remove the chain.
If it were me id put a 1000lb LF spring and loosen the slack on the LF chain. And a 225 right rear spring. Again. 140 lbs. Bite. Lighter LF will help pin the car looser on corner entry without washing out. Lighter RR will help pin the car off the center and exit and the reduced bite will help keep it under control under acceleration. Anything over 150 lbs bite is just a waste of time right now. If its still a bit tight off just throw in more rear stagger or put a 1/4 or 1/2 inch spacer in the right rear for dry conditions. Another thing to remember focus on corner entry first! If you cant get in, you are definetely not coming off! Springs tell ya where to go, shocks tell ya when to go
More bite makes it tighter. With that setup you have to drive it like that.
Hi my name is Waylon and I hope my comments and advice didn't upset you! I'm a fan of yours and watched every step of your build! Very impressed on everything you do! Make your car fast at your favorite track and then you know how fast your car is! Changes are less needed and less drastic at others
Maybe try stiffening both back springs a little, the stiffer springs will loosen the rear overall. Don't stop putting out videos every week, we look forward to every one of your videos!
The last few laps when you were driving it harder, is how you should be driving it. Now get the RR to plant and the rear to rotate (not over rotate) on throttle.
I would not run the "backward" spring combo until the car proves it needs to be entry tight. Swap front springs to free entry. I know the popular set up is heavy lf spring but that isn't what the car is telling you.
Man you need to drive like you're pissed off all the time in any stock car. I bet those lap times wernt too bad towards the end of the race. Car is definitely too tight coming in. Ive been there. Do the Jay Neil setup. Put the LR dummy spring in, remove all shocks. Set your ride heights and go back to 60-80lbs of bite. Thats always got me back in the ballpark.
Keep at it mate. If you aint struggling you aint learning
I hate you didn’t have a good run Jason. I think most of us would watch whatever you put out so don’t stop with the weekly stuff(as long as you have time to put it out). I know a lot of ppl have already said it but I feel like you should try more slack in that lr chain and let it eat buddy.
Here for the ride Jason, wanna see your success and struggles brother
Jason you need to get “aggravated “ more often. You were flying after that 😂
Idk how relatable might try taking the LF chain off when you got a lot of lr in the car, in my mod I put the LF chain on my car and it had quite a bit lr bite in the car and it made it wayyy to traction tight just like yours had to drive the heck out of it to turn couldn’t roll it in, might try it! Keep up the awesome vids man!
I had a comment and this proves it! I'm back at a different track and decided to make more adjustment from the last track! Jason make it work great on one track before you chase another! I'm seeing this with 30 years of late model success under my belt
Metric cars like to roll over on the front right spring. I feel like the chain is holding the car from moving around like it wants to… you gotta hike that gals dress up and let her eat!! When you were driving it mad is the best she’s looked to me. I said it before, I feel like you’re trying to drive it like a leaf spring car, they’re nothing like each other. Those metric cars wanna be on the edge, wild man style. Watch all the fast metric car, they have a lot of separation. Good luck Jason!!
