Wheelbase - Stock/SS
 

Since the beginning of the christmas tree, stockers/super stockers have been varying wheelbase from side to side for helping cut a light or to a smaller degree tripping beam at finish line. Is that practice still common today? knowing the 3/4” variance allowed by rules.

Good morning Ed and to all,
By any chance have you played with you're front tire diameter? Staggering the front wheels will slow down your reaction times especially if you are driving the front wheels through the lights. It probably won't help too much if the car wheel stands. Loosening your front shock "rebound" settings might help like going to a bigger diameter front tire. Sometimes you have to use a combination of all of the above to get what you are looking to accomplish.

Ed,
This rule has been the same for the last 30 years. Nothing has changed.
