And you are within the rules to use them Jack.....without notches.

I would bet that all of you running bars now would find a way to make the car launch safely without bars if you had to. Just sayin......

Might be time for Ford, GM and MOPAR to release rear bumper covers with notches for those cars. They could say they are for tail pipes.

Notice the experts have 1320 in their screen names? LOL

I never claimed to be an "expert" Mr. Super Stocker...... just adding in a little outside the box thinking.

Some of the best shops in the country are building these Stockers. And they are running wheelie bars on them and you're the only one out here with your coulda, shoulda, woulda stuff. Try building and racing a high letter Stocker today before coming out here and telling us how we should do it.

I can see why your discussion with Pat was....."lively".

"THEY" are running them because they are allowed to. The cars would be fast even if they weren't allowed to run the bars.

Fast is relative. You are really very quick with the assumptions. They run the bars because they make the cars safer not because they are allowed.

Yes, I noticed that. And I might add to that "uneducated, misinformed and inexperienced."

Default Re: Wheelie Bars are not needed for Safety on Stockers!

I have a red wagon full of shocks both front and rear, two junk "K" members (Newsome has four), two weight boxes in back, an adjustable weight bar in front, several different sets of travel limiters, four wheel scales, adjustable chip for the starting line, and an October 2002 picture of my car on one wheel on DRC. If the wind changes direction or speed to a head wind a high torque car is doomed if it gets "up", because hydraulic pressure will not let it down without wrecking something.

Gosh I hate getting old. I forgot to mention oil pans, four bent 15X4 wheels, and one firewall that got compression bent when I aborted a run. Most of the damage to my car was done without wheelie bars, but some was done learning how to run with bars.

My car makes in the high 5's for power but makes in the 6's for torque just below the flash of the converter.

Is this a manufactures rule for Factory Showdown? The drive by wire cars do not need wheelie bars but the cable cars do?

I will fix my rear panel before the Chicago race and let the bars starting hitting the paint and bending the sheet metal.
