Tuning the coilovers to help eliminate tire shake and launching a drag car to set a personal best 60 foot times each pass! This includes actual track results with slomo video of 3 passes and what changes were made to compression and rebound on front and rear on each pass along with short times revealed. This is a ladder bar drag car with Strange Engineering double adjustable shocks and 110 lb coil springs on the rear and QA1 double adjustable shocks up front. Critical to this process is scaling the race car, ensuring installed height of the shocks and making sure you have the right spring compression for stored energy. Corner weights help you setup preload to launch and go straight and wheelie bars are critical in wheel speed and helping steer the car if it wheelies. There is more left in the short times of this car as you can see from the videos. More testing to come. Tuning your drag car suspension is fun and not black magic! This car does run a stiff sidewall slick and this outing was new Hoosiers! Air pressure on these tuning times is a mandatory item to track as you know.

This car is the real deal bracket car. Naturally aspirated, no power adders other than right foot. Single dominator, PAR Racing Engines 601 BBC, Brodix Heads, powerglide and deadly consistent!
