In summary, applying principles of physics to dirt oval track racing can greatly improve performance and success. By understanding the concepts of friction, momentum, and aerodynamics, racers can make strategic adjustments to their vehicle and driving techniques to gain an advantage on the track. Additionally, knowledge of physics can help racers anticipate and navigate through different track conditions, such as changes in grip and banking. By utilizing physics, racers can optimize their speed, control, and overall performance on the dirt oval track.

How did you find PF?
I did a google search for information on center of gravity height (CGH) calculations that I could apply to my racing program.
My hobby for the last 40 years has been dirt oval track racing. I like reading as much as I can to help improve my racing program.
