Randomly came across this video today. Ray is my grandfather, pretty wild to see this.

What's really wild is to your grandfather this was just a easy Wednesday afternoon.

it was a good choice of using Bobby Allison's and Dale Earnhardt's ASA cars for this video in the late 80s

All us short trackers back then only wish we had access to vids like this of Mr. Ray Dillion himself, a STOREHOUSE of chassis knowledge back in in the 80's & early 90's. (Not just anybody had access unless you were Mark Martin or a customer.)

I remember Ray racing at South bend motor speedway card number 44. Great memories. ✌️🇺🇸

I think I have this somewhere on an old VHS tape. Very cool!!

I grew up watching and racing at the one of the racetracks most of Ray's designs were developed and tested at. South Bend Motor Speedway. Ray spent many a Friday night turning laps in Super Modifieds and Late Models there. I still race there.

Didn’t know he ran super modifieds

Wow. No experience here on my end. Bought a sport modified. This video is amazing as to fine tuning and how to do it. Thank you so very, very much for taking your time and doing this.

ASA and southeastern late model stock,, the best of the best back in the day.. 83-93

This is the chassis that he developed with Mark martin and put him from building traikers to racecars full time as told in marks podcast. Super cool listen for those race needs put there. He talks about how they built and tested then mark won like 3 Asa championships in this chassis

Great video! Good solid info, my teenage kids don't like math but this ignited their interest, TY for posting this🙂

What a gem. Thanks.

Thanks Matthew, this was when I was around the ASA a bit. Great memory jogger!

Thank you learned alot ✌

The car in this video is Dale Earnhardt's ASA car. I made it for iRacing on their Super Late Model... Very cool to see it here.

Bip bop setup guy

I know Gary balough helped in the development of the super late model, I grew up with him and Dick Anderson and Buddy griffin from griffin radiator

Wish I’d had access to this video back in my late model racing days

Yepp now everybody has figured out how to coil bind the springs and use the sway bar like its a torsion bar

BBSS and coilbind is a bandaid fix for poor design and setup. Now we got bumpstops and shocks that cost a fortune and cars that need tires every week

🚖" Could You Tell me What the Cam Lift, Duration & Centerline📍would be in a superlate Modle Asphalt Oval motor❓

That HaT 🧢 tho 😳😂. That sucker has about 5” ride height of its own. 🧢

How much do you charge to help me set up my ed howe in anchoeage alaska

do you unload the spring weight before weighing

about shocks, when he says 95s on the back, that means 9 rebound stiffnes and 5 compression stiffnes ? ?

@youknoweverything7643

No for carrera shocks 9 is the length of the shock travel and 5 means it a 5 compression

tAmEz ZoDiAc this is pretty much general physics, you can apply this to any kind of Motorsport really but the settings all vary depending on the car. Newer and updated chassis run newer technologies and use different numbers, but it’s all fundamentally the same.

It'll get you close but not close enough. Today's gazillion dollar shock and spring setups are different

This is great stuff for simple late model stock like that they run at stafford speedway or anything less limited, street stock thisnstuff is gold for that. The numbers will need to change for different cars and tracks needs

Whats the point of staggering the front tire?

If you dont stagger the tires on a circle track then its going to push HARD
