4 link dragster?

Freddie · 05-20-2020, 07:30 AM

Is anyone successful in using a 4-link dragster in comp? We are thinking of taking a swing at Comp instead of S/C or T/D, with our new 4 link car. With our power situation we will need to run in B/DA.

What would you think the problem might be? Tom Yancer Race Cars in Az. Has built alot of them. One is BBC with pro charger runs bottom 6's. Maybe in comp chassis might not help get every ounce of ET. Not sure.

We know it takes a little power to make the chassis work, in bracket trim our 4 link cars are about a tenth slower, but we will be working with similar power levels in a B/DA car than we will with a mild T/D car or a well built S/C car. Was just curious as in a conversation with a fellow racer when I mentioned trying to run comp he suggested I sell my current car and build one specifically built for the class.
