Re: ET with and without wheelie.
Hard to have a meaningful discussion with 1320 around.
Pose a question to your fellow stock, superstock racers that run your class and get opinions from a bracket racer. I agree with my Buddy Mike, just leave me and my posts alone. |

I started the thread to try to scrape the knowledge of the people here who've been successful for years. In this case, to try and understand why something that shouldn't work actually seems necessary. It's very obvious that people have decided that through testing. Maybe the wrong section and we may never get a clear explanation, but pretty interesting still. It looks like that guy is pretty invested in the topic, but I've not seen a single thing he typed, no doubt using a single finger. He is the only person in roughly 30 years of online conversations that I've ever blocked. I recommend that move highly. You know, separate the wheat from the chaff, the signal from the noise... |

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
No 2 cars are exactly the same so it's unlikely there is a "right" answer that fits every application. In my experience as long as you're not unloading the rear tires, it's not the wheelie that slows a car down, it's the landing. I have found that if I can smooth out the G-meter dip at touch down, without giving up any 60', the car goes faster. There are lots of different ways to approach that, including wheel stand height.

2. This bracket racer knows far more than you! 3. My firebird has won more Wally's and more $ than anyone replying here! Now What part of the truth and the facts don't you like? Last edited by 1320racer; 10-07-2024 at 11:03 PM. |

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
SS/AH cars don't wheelie too high, but A. Lincoln Morehead's Camaro reaches for the sky every pass and is bad fast. Every car is different, but I must say Calvert bars changed Stock Eliminator forever.
