Scrub radius in open wheel cars

[Swartz]

I know a lot of you smart guyshang out in this .25 stuff so.......
What is the deal with the huge scrub radius on these open wheel cars?

[streihawk8]

Its not huge, look at a Whelen modified....thats huge!

[Swartz]

Sure is. What is the pont of it? All I see it doing is making the car hard to drive and putting a lot of stress on joints. I know the kart guys use it to jack weight around but why do cars with active suspension need that much?

Quote from Randy Sweet *Jesus Christ can't drive a car with zero scrub"  Just making a quote don't crucify me.

 Myron, I thought scrub was what you're supposed to do in the shower after a night at the dirt races!!!!  LMAO!!!

[Swartz]

LOL. Well, I guess this is another thing, like caster, that has to be tuned to "driver comfort". Thankfully it can be changed with wheel offsets no problem. No one tell my driver. I go by size of eyeballs.
