This week I want to talk about dirt track racing Ackerman. I believe it is one of the most important things in front-end settings that no one is talking about.
We are going to get your car to think as you think.

Absolutly watch this video all the time I'm just starting to get everything you cover in this video burned in my head. You are the man!
Great! I'm glad it helps. Thank you for watching.
Very good info here for those that will pay attention. You should do a video on instant center and how moving your front roll center up and down or left to right and how it affects Ackerman with the LF on a dry slick versus a heavy track. Definitely giving up a lot of secrets here lol. Keep up the good content!
Thank you, I just published a video on my take on roll centers. I scribbled a note down to do a video more on migration, but the roll center video may shed some insight as to why I steer away from talking about roll centers.
Big thanks from Australia 🇦🇺 I’m seriously shocked by how many racers have know idea about Ackerman.. I loved this video.. Thank you.
@@dayno82 we have a lot of brothers from Australia that race in the states with us during our summer (your winter) and their work ethic is AMAZING. Craig Vosbergen is one I’ve had personal dealings with and him and his crew were awesome and some of the hardest working people I’ve seen in dirt racing.
@@curtlyons9235 that’s awesome! Craig is living every Aussie dirt racers Dream. So cool 👍👌
Fantastic. Apart from purchasing your book, these videos help clearify these topics. I had made my own hammond setup plates and measured my ackerman /toe in dynamic only to see why my car would scrub off so much speed in the middle. After a few days in the shop I had managed to cut my toe at 15 degrees countersteer to 3/8".. Faster through middle and my rear tires suddenly had more traction available to accelerate the car. My goal after watching as many in-car vids of racers at the wheel is to do less steering in the car and have the front do what the front runners are doing.. I appreciate all you do. Thank you.
I love hearing success stories.
I've got to say thank you. I've learned a lot watching your videos.
Thank you for watching.
The way I was taught to set up Ackerman is to attach a string to the center of your rear axle and stretch it your steering arm where the tie rod connects. If it passes through the center of your steering axis with the tires set straight ahead, your Ackerman angle is correct for "front steer" steering. For rear steer, you stretch the string to the center of your spindle. (lower ball joint or bottom of the king pin) If the string passes through your steering arm where the tie rod connects, your Ackerman angle is correct. This applies to both front wheels. To change the Ackerman angle, you must change the angle between the spindle shaft and the steering arm.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Truly enjoy this thank you and keep them coming
Thank you for watching. I do love making them.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge so freely with us, really enjoy your content. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for watching.
It was really good information and thanks !
Thank you for watching.
Ackerman on karts makes a huge difference... especially if your running low tire pressure
I think it makes a huge difference in the late model and modifieds as well. It just hasn’t caught on as ‘popular’ yet. Those in on it now will be ahead of the game when the rest of the dirt racing world tries to catch up. Thanks for watching.
if you speed the video up to 1.75 its actually easy to listen to
I’m pretty sure this will work on a pure stock Camaro. I would have to bend steering arm to achieve this. Can you give my a estimate on how much to move outboard on left spindle. It would be a one shot deal Or chance weakness
As you turn left, it should continue to toe out until it maxes at about ¾".
Would adding positive Camber to the LF achieve the same thing? Since it would push the top of the LF out? Or would you need to change spindles? That's obviously a bandaid at best
They would have the same overall effect, but each would do their own thing. There would be a little more scrub and heat in the tire with changing Ackerman. Would have to experiment as to what works best in your situation. Thanks for watching.
@@HoganTechnologiesLLC thanks for the reply. Love the videos, I subbed. Keep them coming!
Thank you for watching.
Excellent video! New subscriber !
Thank you for watching and subscribing.
I fell asleep trying to follow along. That dopey kinda talk really put me to sleep 💤 😴
goddamnit... kitchen table talk again.. how about in a garage on a car showing shit!
I don’t always have access to cars to do filming. I don’t own my own. I do help two different teams in our area, one new Rocket and one new Jimmy Mars car, but would feel like I’m imposing to use their cars to do my videos. I just make do with what have to work with.
