Special Guest for Carline National Series
19/12/07…NASR/ASCF Media Release
In addition to a star-studded field of Australia’s very best Super Sedan drivers, the 2007/2008 Carline Mufflers National Super Sedan Series will also feature a very special guest in former USA Crew Chief of the Year Kirk Loudy.
A former crew chief for American Late Model superstars Scott Bloomquist and Brian Berkhofer, Loudy is widely recognised as an expert in chassis set-up and suspension tuning. He is a consultant for Mastersbilt Race Cars and is the designer of the new AFCO M2 and T2 racing shocks. Loudy has vast experience with four-bar, leaf spring and z-link suspension configurations and will be using his Australian visit to familiarise himself with local track conditions and develop a greater understanding of the various issues that impact upon race car set-ups in Australia.
Loudy will attend seven of the Carline Mufflers National Super Sedan Series events and, in conjunction with Ian Boettcher Race Parts, will host a Race Smart Dirt Track Chassis School at the completion of the NSSS schedule. To be staged over two days on January 23 and 24, the Race Smart workshop will include an extensive examination of shock absorber technology and tuning, shock absorber selection and adjustment, suspension set-ups and proper driving techniques for varying track conditions. The workshop will also cover chassis set-up for the various rear suspension systems, along with tyre compound selection and maintenance.
The Race Smart Dirt Track Chassis School will be conducted over two days on January 23 and 24, 2008 at the Country Comfort Motel, 250 South Station Rd, Ipswich, Queensland. Class size is strictly limited and places are filling fast. The cost is $495 and all tickets must be pre-purchased by contacting Ian Boettcher Race Parts on (07) 3816 3288.
