is there a standardized slope degree for an Alum. track?
what is the slope of the PDDR track? 27 deg, 26 deg ??

my 35' best track came @ 26.5 deg, does this matter and would you change it if this was yours

We have built-tried 6 difft cars/combos (pure-stock / souts type) and am stuck @ 2.57 to 2.59. Ive tried everything short of a hotwheels and the neighbor's bike and can only get 1 or 2 56/57's then its 2.59.............

I have a car that ran 2.59avg on a 35' best at districts last year and it ran 2.55avg (18 runs) on my new track

Wondering if the 1/2 deg is part of the issue

The slope is an important part of the setup to tune your cars. My track was set at 26.5 initially as well. When I learned what PDDR had for deg of slope, I changed mine and the cars reacted a little different. Some of the cars showed a little wobble that was not there before. This allowed me to readjust the car for more speed.

Hope this helps!
