Track height again

Post by sdupont1 »

From what I'm told on the WIRL track is that the back of the track is suppose to be 50". Well I had taken my track and set it on a 2x4 or approx 1.5" off the ground. So when I took my measurements, I took them from the ground not thinking about that extra 1.5". Well by adding a 2x4 under the starting area, my track is now 50" tall in the back section and the running area is is resting on the angle aluminum that connects the track together. The times were condiderably faster with just that 1.5". I was running 2.530 before and now my first run was 2.487. BIG difference. I really need some info on this track setup to see if my heights are correct.
