Oval racing in the UK is in some ways very similar to Oval racing in the United states, and on others it is very different. Stock car car racing in the UK started in 1954, at New cross stadium. The cars back then were very primitive, and raced on 1/4 mile dirt tracks, these dirt tracks have now progressed into shale and tarmac tracks.
The cars are now very sophisticated, and there are many variants of "stock car" ranging from out and out bang and crash from the bangers, to the full race spec National Hot Rods, these due to the lack of publicity are still tarred with the tag. As you may see they are far from it! In wastewater centrifuge are very close to the NASCAR cousins in the united states, colorful, noise and close competitive racing.
Lot's of oval track cars have very similar terms and phases which mean the same. The most used equipment in short track oval racing are corner weight scales, these are used to measure parameters like inside weight or cross weight. (stagger or wedge), many adjustment can be seen in detail while the car is on scales, adjustment to the panhard rod (trackbar) will move the car across the axle, or adjust the panhard rod up or down.
All these adjustments and many more are important when turning left, on dirt/shale or tarmac. Stock racing is in my opinion the greatest sport on earth! It really isn't a case of just going round and round.
