Wheelie Bars are not needed for Safety on Stockers!

[HR9121]

After the comment he made to Ed Wright in post #58, I vote to ban his ***. No need for that here but either way could you set the forum where you could "ignore" someone's post? That could be the ticket.

Yall do know that wheelie bars are legal in stock and super stock, and we are only talking about notches on the newer cars in SS, and basically the same in stock. If you can get them under the car and don't need the notches, then it's a done deal. Is all this about notches? I must be missing something here.

Jeff - You didn't miss a thing -- its all about the notches and nothing else .All these pages and posts about nothing - kinda like the Seinfeld deal isn't it .

Yes....It's about notches in the rear fascia....nothing else....nobody cares about how you run your car with no bars or how great you are...we just want to notch the fascia for wheelie bar clearance....that's it....

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.

Well, let's say we have had some colorful commentary from the peanut gallery. Hagen is right on the money with both of his posts.

FYI, post #58 is NOT Ed Wright. It belongs to some one named "Ed" alright, just not Ed Wright.

Alan I was refering to the comments 1320 made to Ed but I guess you got my drift.

Much of what you state is only partially true.
Just point of view and experience. How ever limited.
