caster angle

(1/2) > >>

bad penny:
Is there a standard caster angle used on the axle of a front engine dragster? Does wheel base have any bearing on this

dreracecar:
depends on the front tires weather its a newer flat crown race tire or a motorcycle rounded type crown

bad penny:
In my case its a motorcycle type tire 17"
