First Time Drag Racing!

clinteg, i'm just trying to help here and don't want to seem critical and if you don't want any just tell me so. anyway, how many times did you loose traction at the hit and have to back pedal? several that i saw in the video. basic physics stuff, for every action there has to be an equal and opposite reaction. this applies to the rear of a drag car a bunch. when the body goes down it is not pushing the rear axle down, it is pulling it up, the opposite reaction, loosing a lot of traction. when the body goes up, the opposite reaction is the pushing down of the rear axle to make the tires stick or hook. now with no body rise the hook is dependent on how sticky you get the tires which doesn't heat up the same every time and you loose traction some of the time. if you have one of the non-adjustable tri 4 links you're sol on changing any thing with the link bars but maybe stiffening up the rear shocks might help some.
your passengers will get freak out for sure when given a ride when they feel and hear the power your hotrod is making.
