Drove the race car home!

Yeah, I kinda knew something was gonna let go. Just didn't think it would be so soon or happen from a roll out but it is what it is..

What's your thought on slapper bars?
You think that would help the SS springs live a little longer? I dont wanna be changing springs after each hit....

In hind sight I should have back halved and four linked the dam thing but for now I'm kinda stuck trying to make the leafsprings work...

Thanks for the time and advice.


At one tine in the 1980's I had a pinion snubber on mine but then lowered it and used it more for a safety device. Tracks and tires were piss-poor back then compared to today but I did run 9.82 with 002 and 003 springs. Back then back halving cars was VERY expensive. My 1974 Duster would hook great till late Sunday afternoons in the summer. My Son in the front of this quad will be 30 in December. LOL. I hate to say it but I think something in your car wasn't set-up right.
