Ok, I have read that back in the late '60's and early '70's, S/S and "stock" racers would modify the front suspension to move the front wheels forward about 1"-2" forward of the stock (factory) location. I read that it was for an advantage in the staging beams. Can somebody explain:

1) How it was done? and,
2) How the advantage worked?

I don't see how it gives an advantage. That same forward reposition breaks the beam earlier at the top end of the track...you're still covering 1320 feet.

Kindly 'splain it to me.

Many thanks,
