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

There isn't any connection. But there is no connection with any of the others that have posted pics of cars on their bumper in refernce to safety. You can put any car with a bit of power on the bumper if you want too. Just like you can get any car to leave without wheelie bars.

You can't have it both ways Carey. Spin as hard as you like but there is no way of spinning this story to meet your current position. Your car and Stockers have very different launch requirements to be competitive and we can argue this point forever. The simple truth is wheelie bars provide safety to racers and staff and simple little notches to the rear valance pose no threat to anyone.

I'm not spinning anything, except tires.

I'm not arguing here. However, I have driven several 9 second stockers, that 60' in the 1.2's, without wheelie bars, and the last thing in my mind was how "unsafe" they were.

I agree about the notches, that's ridiculous. If you are going to allow a car to have wheelie bars, then why limit the manner in which they are installed??

Boosted,
when you say "one more flat on the front adjustment", are you referring to a front-end travel limiter? If so, those are illegal on a Stocker.

One flat tighter on the knob on the top of the shock.

Was the A car one of the new purpose built factory race cars with all the trick stuff? Maybe a pound or two heavy? How do you think that suspension compares to a 70's Challenger? Also it's not how you feel as far as safety is concerned. It's how safe is the vehicle you are racing.
