I have a 85 carlo run a 1/2 mile slightly banked oval.
The problem i have is the car wants to spin the rt rear from the middle off the turn.Goining in ok but if i dont get in the gas as soon as car sets it will break loose in the rear.Getting in the gas will stop this but as more throttle is applyed it starts to spin and will spin all the way off the corner. set up as follows.
frame hight lf:7 rf: 7 3/4   springs lf:900  rf:1100
          rf:83/8rr:83/4           lr:250  rr:175
corner weights lf:1000  Rf:790    tires 225/60/15 hoosier recap racing tires
              lr:750   RR:645

Larry,

It looks like your RR corner weight is too light....take about 50-75 pounds off the LF to increase the RR without upsetting anything else.  If that doesn't work, try increasing your shock rebound in the LF to increase compression in the RR.  Just remember...if one corner isn't working right, go to the opposite cross-corner...take away from one, to add to the other....hope this helps...good luck
