Alot of difference between rear weights side to side.

I have seen cars launch hard right with just a lighter driver. it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

Also the front bucket seat out passengerside. 5543917-ROLLBAROVRLBEST400PIX.jpg (119 downloads) 65 DART GT RAGTOP mopars "AWESOME" 360 magnum stoker 402 Engine !!!!!!!

I was looking to see what the total was for right now. The dart still seems to want to pull toward the right under accelleration crusing speed. I have atleast a half turn on the right side bar already. may still need some more yet . 65 DART GT RAGTOP mopars "AWESOME" 360 magnum stoker 402 Engine !!!!!!! ROCKS !!!!!!!!!! 11.0's on pump gas .

You need to be in the car with whatever safety gear you plan to wear, fuel in the tank, and the correct air pressure in the tires. You would be surprised how much air pressure can affect corner weights. "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." "It's never wrong to do the right thing"
