Default Where was article on handling adjustment basics?

I recall there was a post or reference link to the basics of handling adjustments. This was a matrix of what to do to adjust understeer/oversteer with all the various adjustmens beginning with simple to complicated. Starting with tire pressures, tire sizes, sway bar settings, etc.

I just did a NASA event this weekend with a cold wet track and never did get the car to where it felt connected. I played with the tire pressures a bit but never got comfortable.

Anyone recall seeing that chart of adjustments?

Thanks.

IIRC there is a table like what you want on the Rennsport Systems web site. I copied it, cleaned it up in Word and have it with my track stuff so it's always handy. Carrol Smith's book, An Engineer in Your Pocket is a good addition too.

Thanks Graham. I missplaced a similar chart that I kept in my track notebook a few years ago. I was always second guessing myself if I remembered it correctly.

This link should take you to the Rennsport System's chassis set up table.

Thanks for the link. It was the Rennsport link that was what I had remembered. Perfect. Now if I can just figure out what to do with all the info!
