Asphalt vs. Dirt

[racing75]

How hard and how much work is it to change a car to run from asphalt to dirt and dirt back to asphalt. Other than the windshield, what else is involved. I was just thinking about racing the same car on dirt and asphalt. It would be most likely a camaro. For instance, a car to run Rio Grande Speedway in McAllen and Corpus Christi Motorspeedway in Corpus. Thanks for any info.

i thought about that very thing 4months ago....to be competetive at both i thought the list was too long....

 

srings,shocks,bar,gears,wheels&spacers,weight,carb(or atleast jets)windshield,the muffler to meet the db at thr.....

probably 50 more things if you sat back and think about it...but maybe some body whose done it could be more informative....

Thanks. I don't know alot about racing on asphalt. Ive always raced on dirt. It would probably be better to have 2 cars.

Its a LOT of work---------done it saturday morning and afternoon

You change the car completly--ride height-scale it and change most bolt on parts along with tires and diff offset wheels

ABOUT a 7 hr job with 2 guys knowing what they are doing and

thrashing non stop

Know sure if all the work and effort if running dirt one nite and

then pavement the next--especially if have to tow 200 miles one

way after working that hard getting it ready to race and then

there seems to be always the little things that go thru your mind

when towing to the next race "did i forget anything"

I know Lawrence #87 TAMS used to do it alot, race dirt and asphalt in the same car, I asked him about it and ther is alot involved. Shocks, springs, weight, tires, wheels, ride height, scaleing, sway bar etc, i am sure there is more, but i know it is a lot to do.
