Racing by the Numbers -- The Mitchell Analysis of the Spec Racer Chassis

William C. Mitchell created the racing standard chassis geometry analysis software, “Racing by the Numbers”.  I own a copy.  This section includes two things: 1) The full text outputs of the Mitchell analysis of both the front and rear suspensions of the Spec Racer (using the 1997 setup of the “10” car as the basis).  2) Front and rear camber curves versus ride and roll.  This should give you a lot to study before your first race of 1999.
