Re: Alf Wiebe A body rear control arms
I have the complete Alf Wiebe system on my Chevelle. It is the original type that Alf built.
I just got word from NHRA that I will no longer be able to run my car after April 30, 2009 with this setup. I talked to Alf and He said that He is in the process of building a new rear suspension kit that will be legal in A body cars. Why are Cal-Trac bars legal? They adjust the pinion angle on leaf spring cars, no??? This is a little confusing to me. Craig B/SA Division 6 |

Re: Alf Wiebe A body rear control arms
Cal-Track bars do NOT adjust pinion angle. No more than a slapper bar.

That is a very expensive setup, and it sounds like a number of racers are getting screwed in that decision.

Re: Alf Wiebe A body rear control arms
The caltracs do not adjusts the pinoin angle, the spring perches are welded to the housing and there is no rule on pinion angle.Yet,lol

Re: Alf Wiebe A body rear control arms
Hey sean,
What class will your caravan run when NHRA does away with the front wheel drive class? |

Re: Alf Wiebe A body rear control arms
I won't run a class. I'll put a bigger turbo on it and go take money from kids in Honda's. And probably use it for a daily driver.

Re: Alf Wiebe A body rear control arms
Hey Phillip, FWD classes have already been cut from 16 to 5 classes and combined autos and sticks. How are you gunna like it when RWD classes go to one pound breaks? Combine autos and sticks? Your next pal. Jim

My little V/SA slant six will be just fine and if it's not I'll get the A865 finished and go CJ hunting. Thank you, Thank you very much.
