Carpet Clearance

To find the correct ride height for carpet racing, mark the bottom of your chassis with a white china marker. Run a few fast laps during practice, and check the bottom of the car. If the marker is completely removed, raise the ride height until the marker is only partially removed. If you run a few laps and the marker remains completely intact, then lower the car until only some of the marker is removed. Rick Holmes
