watching ncwts

got a chance to set and watch a little nascar truck racing tonight. and I noticed 2 things
1 how heavy ricky carmichael has got'n
and #2 when the trucks were running under yellow flag I noticed that it looked like they had a lot of postive camber in the left front. heres my question do they have that much pos. camber when the arnt at speed or was that my bad eye sight and poor tv. or do they suck down that much to take all that camber out

Re: watching ncwts

camber is for the corners ... it loads the suspension and once loaded the tire "stands up straight" due to the upward arc movement of the suspension ...which in turn allows more tire contact patch on the asphalt ...

more tire = more speed carried thru the corner
