CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Wheelie Bars are not needed for Safety on Stockers!

Jeff, if you read the first post it is stated that an NHRA official said nobody at NHRA thinks wheelie bars are for safety. Obviously that's an incorrect statement. That being said, maybe the new cars can find a different way to keep it safe without wheelie bar notches. Maybe this helps some of the older cars when the new ones can't launch as hard. I have noticed that none of Jeff's new cars have them, but I'm sure his opinion is the same as mine after his son drug the bumper to the 330 and made a move towards the wall in Houston. If your going to leave that hard, bars help keep everyone safe. Either way it seems like a poor choice of things to enforce.
