Leaf Spring Suspension Q

[Larry Hill]

I believe the purpose of the rear spring is to hold the car up. Reason I say this. I broke a rear segment of a leaf spring and Travis Miller at fuel check was kind enough to ask the question of what is hanging down. The car just ran 10.0 something @ 129 something and I could not detect any difference in the run. All I knew is it had to be fixed before we ran class the next day at the Sports Nationals. We fixed it that night and it ran very well the next day.

I think the leaf spring will do the job without any help.
