In hindsight, I should have never put the fiberglass front-end on the car. I was trying to get a better weight distribution front to back, that I thought I needed. LOL! Mainly because of using a small tire for bracket racing.

This is what I found I needed after trying to flip the car on its back. I need more weight on the front! I have been tightening the extension on the front shocks, limiting the travel & using a launch retard out to about the 60'. This has helped calm the wheelies some & improved the 60's.

I'm past the point where I need to add some additional safety items to race the car faster: a parachute & head/neck restraint device. I don't mind putting the chute on, but I'm hung up on not wanting to wear the restraint device.

The car hasn't been raced since Apr. So, kind of excited to get it out with a whole new look & a few other uprgrades.
