Thumbs up Re: Ken Keir wheelie bar results

Garret,what happened to the stock hood? I think that hot rod would hook in a car wash

Thanks. I still have it, I just got tired of running the car without an air cleaner. The suspension is working really well now.

Where are the "wasted motion" naysayers anyway? Probably not many hanging out here at CR! Funny thing is, if I showed all the videos minus the timeslips many would choose the lowest wheelie as the quickest run. In fact, the quickest of that bunch of runs was the highest wheelie where the car pulled the tires past the 60 foot. Just listen to how happy the engine was on the 5.77

Are they faster than the two wheel set up?

You got that car flying bud!! Last time i saw you was at the best hooking track in the USA good ole KCIR .

I ended up buying my dads gold 67 and I'm setting it back up for A/S !!

Good job on your car!

I can't answer that. This is the only bar I've run and it's works great. You can set it up nice and high so it's really only back there as a safety item. When the car comes up you can feel it going into the normal wheelie then once it starts getting to the peak it just stops climbing. The car also seems to go straight.

The best peace of mind and damage control item I've purchased since I started racing! No more smashed headers, etc. should I miss the shock tune up.

I appreciate it, thanks!

Man I miss KCIR and the good old F body shootout days. Those were some fun times! I can still remember you standing the gold 67 on the bumper with the 350 4-speed combo running mid 10's. That thing left like a beast!
