Why no wheelie bars?



EGO...

IMO The Camaro that went airborne would have been saved with bars.

Has NOTHING to do with ego or "stupidity". Most radial racing, wheelie bars are NOT allowed, so these cars are set up to run without them. While they are allowed at THIS race in THIS class, most choose not to use them, because they never have.

I have seen Dewayne Mills car make hundreds of passes. NEVER seen it do that. He said it pushed the front up a little because of a new trans gear set up he was trying and then the throttle hung. Plus, at that speed, it would have just folded the bars up anyway, just as it did on the Mustang that did the same thing down there a few years ago. These cars run nearly 200 in the 1/8 and they are heavy. You get a big gulp of air under a car that fast, at that weight, it IS going airborne and bars would NOT save it.
