Usually depends on the power level. If the car has enough power to work the tire and the chassis, all that weight transfer is not needed and is just wasted motion. Lower powered cars need the weight transfer to plant the tire and work the suspension. I will catch flack for this next comment, but don't care. IMO, if your car runs 9s and it has to carry the frontend fairly high to 60ft good, it is setup wrong. Gear, converter, suspension, something is wrong. SS/AH cars always get mentioned in this debate. Some carry the front, some don't, so they can work either way, but in my own experience, the closer you keep the tires to the ground, the quicker you go. Tack a sail on the front of your car for 80 feet and see if it slows it down. I'm betting yes.

Clutch cars hit the tire harder, so on the whole, they need less travel. Stockers are limited on what they can do. Travel limiters are not legal, but I don't how close they police bump stop height, length and that sort of thing. SS cars can do whatever, as far as limiters.

Problem is it is not policed, unless you are a class racer and know what it takes to make the car 60ft.you will never understand, Big difference between a bracket car and a class car

Bob looking at your picture it looks like my harmless low compression 340 can hang the hoops as high as your car with that funny looking big engine in there.

If your going by my picture in the post then you obiviously haven't seen my car much.Try Chaz 1 wheelstand or Bob George wheelstand on youtube or ask Wild Bill to post some of the foot brake stands at PRP.Better yet ask Grant.Then talk about what your car can do compaired to mine.I had mine higher in second gear than yours if it fell of a lift backwards.Not trying to demean you efforts Hogar,but you seem so matter of fact in your post.I think that anyone here that have seen my car will disagree with you.Not that it's important since giant wheelstands don't win races,just put on a good show. If We want and have we can carry the wheels past the 330' and We have seen Curt walk it out to the 1/8 in years past with less motor.Top that

my wheelie bars are set at 11" off the ground, my car makes its quickest passes when the wheels DO NOT touch the ground....

with everything except the wheelie bars.
Wheelie bars are for the guys with no clangers.

Dont get me going on this argument LOL LOL
I dont want to wreck my car just to say "i have NO bars"
Id hate to see you wreck your car over that

That is why God invented the four link.
I can adjust the car to not wheelstand, or I can put it on the bumper. I like to find a happy medium that lets the car 60ft and ET competitively, while still putting a smile on my face.

We are talking about getting the wheels up.And Hogar I'am not sensitive,the way you worded your post seem to come off as you were stating a fact.Try adding a or or or or to express your intent.If you want me to take it light hearted express it that way.We have kidded each other quite often.That the white car with wheels up is Curt's legesy that he left us,I think you can understand my being a little defensive in my response.Keep chasing your tail and maybe your name will appear in the obscure back pages of National Dragster that no one reads.Maybe in a class win where more than one car shows up and if you make it to the eliminater rounds.The rewards for a lot of effort and dollars spent.I can bust balls to,only I'am doing it with Don't be so sensitive,Looking forward to having you visit,I
