Re: Drag cars?

How quick are you looking to go? I ran a Super Gas car for 20 years, and now run a center steer AA/F funny car - altered chassis for the past 11 years. While the funny car/fuel altered is scary fast, it is a lot easier to drive than my Super Gas car. The consistency of the chassis and rear tire makes it so much easier to tune than working on shocks, springs, and 4-link settings. If you're looking to go quicker than 8 seconds, I would recommend going with center steer chassis to make it a little more predictable and enjoyable rather than chasing suspension adjustments.
