? Traction devise? OK, The current std design wheelie bar ( both upper and lower bars attach to the diff) that is used will unload the wheels causing it to spin. Even with springs being used. Not a comp car or SS car, just an automatic stocker. Stick is totally differant.
I watched three rounds of qualifiying last year at a National event standing on the starting line with a video and I would say 90% of the wheelie bars now being used in Stock unload the tire. Is this a safety issue? The current setup we are using does not even contact the track surface unless the car gets too high and that is what they are intended for. I am thankful we have a grace period to work with however I think NHRA should take a second look at them.
