Re: VIDEO: Top Ten Wheelstands 2014
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. Kevin |

Re: VIDEO: Top Ten Wheelstands 2014
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.
