No my feelings didnt hurt. I didnt ask for any help or advise. I do things MY way an really dont care what anyone thinks! Not everyones car is the same, different cars call for different changes. I have done things that others said would work becouse it did for them, didnt work for me. My dad is my crew chief we been racing together for 35yrs. We learn stuff every time we go out an we are having FUN!!

The problem here is everyones an expert an everyone elses car. There is alot of GREAT advise here an everyone is very tallenated. You race your car your way an ill race mine my way!!




If your feelings aren't hurt, then what's this supposed to mean????

the way these bars work is Calverts spin on the AJE design, pivot see/saw point in the middle and push down on the rearend, wont unload the tires on a leaf spring/Caltrak car.




Correct. I may try one of these on my Challenger leaf spring/Cal trac Drag Radial project if needed. It looks like a nice concept & looks like it would really plant the tire.

Keep in mind two things about the AFCO shocks. First the compression setting on the BACK of the car also affects wheelstands. Hard to believe but it makes a noticeable difference. I have no experience with it on a caltrac car but something you can try. The other is that you can send those fronts in and tell them you would like some stiffer valving and they can do that for you as well. May not be the answer but I wanted you to know the option was available. Keep us posted on how your wheelie bar works. Calvert knows his way around a leaf spring car for sure.

Shawn...after reading this wize-azz comment..if I knew as much as some of these VERY KNOWLEDGABLE guys on here,that are trying to help you out....I wouldn't give you ANY ADVICE AT ALL! Like Wayne said earlier..when you were having ALL those issues with your motor,you blew some of these guys off! Why even bother coming on here and asking for advice? You do have a BEAUTIFUL..and FAST car...but, how much WASTED money did it take to get it to where it is? I know..I'm just a part time drag racer,with a SLOW 11 second street car,with limited knowledge! But...I do take advice from INTELLIGENT,and EXPERIENCED people on here...instead of BLOWING-OFF people who offer their help,and experience! After 35 yrs. of racing together,BOTH of you should have ALL the answers! Just my opinion..take it for what it's worth!..or NOT! Good Luck with the wheelie bar(possibly MORE wasted money)! Sincerely,Randy Borawski.

Ok now I do not want To get into a pissing contest about Shawn personality or anything like that against him. Not into that. But looking st this thread no one has given him any advise that can be applied to a caltrac car. They are a different animal. They could hook good for 5-6 runs then suddenly stand straight up. Tighten the front shocks or take some travel out and you blow the tires off. We have been fighting this problem for a few years. We have been talking to calvert about those bars for over a year and the theory make sense so we were going to try them out. Unfortunately the caltracs are so violent that we broke a wheelie bars on a launch that sent us into a crash.hurt the car and me. So those single wheel thingies are ment to work with them. Calvert has put them on alot of cars with great reviews. Everyone has given him great advise but they cannot be applied to this application. Hope this helps . Jake

Gary...UNDERSTOOD! I have nothing at all against Shawn,personally! I've never met,or even talked to him. But..when Wayne(Big Squeeze)pointed out Shawn's comments,and general attitude from the past..I just had to give my opinion. Shawn told me a few yrs. ago that the 002-003 SS springs would NEVER work on my HEAVIER car. Maybe he knew something Dick Landy..who suggested them years ago,didn't know. I guess what I'm getting at is.. no matter how smart you are,there's ALWAYS someone out there with the EXPERIENCE,and KNOWLEDGE in helping solve a particular problem!...at least LISTEN to that advice,without being a wise azz about it..even if you TOTALLY DISAGREE! That's all I'm saying!

Being as I'm a cal trac guy Shawn, one thing I have been learning from the fast guys is soft shock settings in the rear are key.
