V1 Track Set Up

[Brocker]

Just want to post a shout out to Richard Chambers of Richard Chambers Racing in Montgomery Alabama. I've tracked a C6 Z06, a C7 Z06, a C8 Z51, a 2023 GT4, and a 2024 Turbo S (all my cars) at many SE tracks. I've taken my Goblin out a number of times but didn't trust the handling. Richard took the car, experimented with various suspension and wheel tire schemes. My last trip was to "Little Taladega" in September. The car handled so well and was so much fun.... I'd rather be on the track with it than any of the above (still got the turbo S). If any of you are in the southeast and want to use his expertise to improve the handling of the goblin, contact Richard at (334) 318 3250. He does all cars and is experienced at dirt, circuit, drifting, etc.

Glad you have your goblin dialed in! Is your goblin using the chevy subframe, or the DF subframe?

Any chance the setup parameters can be shared with the community? Shared knowledge is a key characteristic of being a Goblineer and there are quite a few builders who could benefit from this information.
I have no stake in this question, as I am not using the donor or the DF subframe.

Chevy. I've got 330/710 R 18 Rear and 300/60 R18 Front, the first tune from ZZP (never dyno'd). Richard corner balanced the car, set up my 9 lives racing rear and front wings, and adjusted the braking balance for best performance. Car is flat and stable on sharp corners - just terrific to drive compared by my set up (standard). Don't know the specs but you can ask him. He spent a lot to time on it trying to figure out the best handling for road courses. He did most of the work for free because he said he just wanted to learn how to do it on this chassis.
Several years ago a previous tuner crashed my first car (I've heard that alcohol was involved). This is my second frame. Richard has the old frame and may do a build on that if he can fix it. He loves driving the Goblin. If any of you are at Road Atlanta this weekend, he will be there. Call him and go and talk to him. (334) 318 3250.
