Rear shocks

[blackbeard]

Does anyone know if they used dual shocks on the rear of the folgers cup car in 1986

Most of the Monogram kits had dual shocks in the rear. How accurate to the actual car, no clue. It may have varied from track to track as well.

If I was a betting man (and I am) I would say they were still racing with dual rear shocks in 1986. Why? The use of table top shock dyno’s didn’t come about until the early 1990’s. Prior to that, I’m thinking that shock selection was made “by the seat of the pants” method or referring to set-up books (what worked prior and what didn’t). Furthermore, shock dyno’s corresponded with the development of “rebuildable” shocks where hold-down and rebound rates could be adjusted and changed out as warranted.
