Sure, you need the horses under the hood. Of course, it doesn’t hurt if the you’ve got a really hot driver behind the wheel. But, if you’re looking for every possible advantage, which, of course, is the hallmark of winning racers, you certainly don’t want to neglect the steering and suspension on your high performance automobile.

Denny Norton, of Performance Unlimited, 5415 Austin Court, Ringwood, has done some racing in his time. He’s also worked on the other side of the pit, with the crews eking out every possible mph in competitions for the checkered flag.

Performance Unlimited is more widely known in the area for providing auto repair services to cars that operate on public roads. This Sunday, March 13, however, Norton and the crew at Performance Unlimited are holding a Tech Presentation from noon to 4 p.m. to help area racers, as well as fans of the sport, to learn more about tuning and adjusting steering and suspension systems for auto racers.

“Your suspension and steering is at least as important as what you have under the hood,” said Norton. “True racers consider all aspects of their racecars and look for every trick that can give them an edge.”

Norton said the event will consist of demonstrations at three stations: a Weight Station, where they will look at proper weight distribution at each wheel and how it affects the handling of a car; an Alignment Station, where drivers can further improve their steering for better handling and safer driving; and the Bump Steer Station, where they’ll take a close look at toe alignment as it is affected by a car’s front suspension based on an at-rest 2” compression.
