Trailer Tires Overheating.
Actually his regurgitation is not really right.
The driver can manually do that by turning a knob that's located right by the shifter handle. One revolution clockwise would adjust the front and one revolution counter clockwise would adjust the rear. One knob. Turn it clockwise and more force goes to the front and less to the back. And vs. versa. All modern cars have brake bias built into the master cylinder or a valve just out from it. Just not adjustable the NASCAR way. Chevy Blazer 4x4 had a recall for a switch that changed the bias. Thought it was in 4x4 all the time and reduced rear braking and increased front braking force. Ate up front pads fierce.

Something else you've read somewhere and don't know how to apply? Nice. Steve Are you saying that it isn't done? Really? Hell, every Winston cup car now has the ability to adjust brake bias from the cockpit. Anybody that knows anything about racing knows this: this is from Dale Jarrett's crew chief, a little Q and A session on nascar.com: Of course it's done. But the part you snipped shows that you have no idea what adjusting the brake bias does and doesn't do. Question: We hear a lot about the driver's ability to change the brake bias in the car while driving, but they never explain how it actually works and how the driver changes it. At which tracks would they use this more than others and why? ANSWER: You have a brake bias adjustor that adjusts the front to rear brake bias. The driver can manually do that by turning a knob that's located right by the shifter handle. One revolution clockwise would adjust the front and one revolution counter clockwise would adjust the rear. The adjustor changes the bias by about 30 to 50 pounds per revolution. The driver only adjusts the brake bias during a run for fuel burn-off or because the car is pushing or is loose. Still don't think it's done? Still don't think I knew what I was talking about? Yes, I still don't think you know what you're talking about. Because it is not relavent at all in your post where you first brought up adjusting the brake bias. Now that you've looked it up on the web, I'm glad to see that you've learned what it does (well, maybe not learned but at least you can regurgitate a blurb about it) because you didn't know before. Now you can go back and look at the part you snipped to see why it's irrelavent. Now that you've proven that it may be possible for you to learn something, let's see if you can use that power to realize that drivers don't use the brakes "quite a lot" during restrictor plate races. In fact, they avoid using the brakes at all costs because in that type of racing, just a tap of the brakes costs them positions. Steve |
