The Steve Chassey pic is interesting not for the mud and drift angle but the brake on the RF corner. Usually a dirt sprint does not run a RF brake, only a LF and that brake has nothing to do with stopping but rather setting the car in the corner (lock up the LF brake going in with the throttle wide open to make the car rotate). It also looks to be a steel rotor, a lot of unsprung weight. I wonder why they ran that configuration? |

I think the reason for the right front brake is it's a Silver Crown champ car, not a sprinter. 4 wheel brakes may have been required on a Silver Crown car. |
