Thanks Rob for some great footage! Alot to be learned there on alot of shots. Especially impressed by watching some of the landings and precise front suspension control! The Mans' Firebird is a really good example of no energy wasted.

Randy Mans built the struts on my firebird shown at 2:53 in. From the day I bolted them on, the car has felt totally different. It is always controlled and lands very smoothly.

I watched that! Very well controlled! I think that the front suspension on a race car is every bit as important as the rear end dynamics in terms of traction and ultimately performance. We have always known that a "loose" front end with a lot of travel helps with hook but with more power, better tires, etc. being able to dial in the right amount of wheel stand vs. maintaining a stable landing is very important. Also another variable in adjusting reaction time.

Agreed on the front struts being crucial for nice landings.. The one Rob has of my car was with the old struts. not pretty.

I finally spent the coin on Santuffs, and the difference is beyond amazing.

I hope no one minds me posting this video but I just attended my first NHRA divisional in Orlando where I had my first wheelstand. http://youtu.be/bJlHRFd74-c
