caltrac picture thread

let me see your car leaving with caltracs clawing at the pavement!
do tell the rear suspension setup too thanks!

Calvert's web site has more than anybody.

The picture tells the tale:
Calvert Cal-Tracs and MonoLeaf springs in action.

I am sure you could contact McCormack motorsports for more info.

The front tires barely lift of the ground it just scoots forward. I could probably use a little more front end travel but I really don't have any problem planting the little slicks so I just check everything and leave it alone. The attached picture is from www.beaversprings.com (currently on the page), I won Outlaw Street that night.

Thanks,

This is a better angle of the car from the side. This is from Quarter Aces Dragway. I won one class and R/U another class in same night at the Carlisle Mopar weekend show.
