Dragster Parts Choices

[Rory Christianson]

Thanks Chris and Jeff for the replies and input very much appreciated

Hey Chris do you run the division races ?


Hey Jeff sure any pictures would be a big help my e-mail is funnycar@hotmail.ca

Thanks again guys for the input

Find that interesting also using more tire sidewall with the hardtail

so is a 240 car considered to short for a top dragster ?
Thanks

In division 3, 6.70 has not made the field. To go say 210 mph the car is going to want 280", you can fool a four link to some extent into thinking its longer but most guys at that speed want the lighter weight slip joint cars. It may be the finish line mph game but to go thru all the work and not quilify is less than fun. I expect this year you will start to see more and more blower cars with less and less big inch nitrious motors. It is getting to be a racer needs to run 6.50 to know that they will qualify. Also to be competative at those speeds is not for everyone. Also with the alcohol classes getting less competition and shrinking fields and events, the TD/TS cars are going to be the Big Show so to speek at Div races without alcohol cars. I look for the fields to open up maybe to let some 7.00 cars have a shot, they could go to 64 car fields but that will vary by division and participation.

Thanks for the pics Jeff Looks good nice and neat
Ya looks like they are flyin pretty good if 6.70 is not making the cut
I will have to see how serious I want to get but at this point I don`t know if I have the time or energy to pursue that I am thinking super comp may best suit the chassis and my time, etc
Just go build a nice car have some fun and be competitive Think that would work for me

Thanks for your input much appreciated

Yes, I run D6 races, I'll probably run SC this next year. In D6, the TD fields weren't even full this year, so you could probably make those with almost anything. But to be competitive...? I've debated which to run myself. You haven't said what division you're in, but in 6, I have a bunch of stats about this past year in SC and TD, and would be happy to share.

Jeff is very right, I would focus on SC and/or SP to get my feet wet, if I were you.

We used to run a hardtail, and the choice of the tire is important. And another discussion entirely
