So to me it is all fictional or loose theories of what is an actual 'Squat/No Squat/Anti Squat Line'.

None of the theories take into consideration the individual car's power differences or gearing differences etc. Yes it does work once you can figure what is your theoretical Percentage of Rise. I have still never seen any benefit to using the Percentage of Rise theory. Now there is so many different ways to explain theories that I too get lost in their explanations. I give him thanks and appreciation for what he has brought to us all. Were it not for his clinics and schools, it is likely there would still not be many good chassis shops around. He has contributed much into racing suspension and chassis from where we all were years ago. We all could actually talk and discuss suspension tech on the phone and the other person knew what each other was meaning. Those guys used the same terminologies that Most of the older guys like me were used to, so we were all talking on the same page. He also sold many chassis training tapes and also conducted chassis schools all over the country and the students came out with words and theories and descriptions which were different than what the other chassis men like Don Ness, Willie Reils, Don Hardy, Wolverine (Tom Smith), Ron Butler, Gateway, Paul Peyton, were using. Many years ago Alston Engineering, Chris Alston, developed his own theories and his ways of explaining. Neutral Line = Line of Theoretical Instant Center Negative separation = Squat = Not enough tire hit. Tire or chassis Separation = Anti-Squat = Tire Hit. This can get confusing if you do not understand that some of the different terms are describing exactly the same thing. You will discover that if you research and read writings by different authors and builders, that they all do not use the same theories or the same terminology. I will post three of the links to sources, which may be helpful for you to purchase. My first and very real suggestion to you, and to all racers is to buy some books on basic racecar chassis design and adjustments.

I have since added quit a bit more to it. Previously I had begun this on another board and it got too large. I was asked to make this post here, by one of the Moderators.
