Put 200 pounders in the rear so it hits the wheely bars hit earlier at the launch. Set rebound in the rear as hard as you can get it so it stay on the wheely bars longer. 1000 pounders are not gonna cut it with a whelly bar

what happened to the rex in the last run of that vid? the one w/o wheelie bars? it looked like you went up in smoke towards the end there.

I followed your advise......and we finally hit the 9's......9.94@145.7mph.....

Thank you ED or RON for the "sound" advise. I still "bow down" to you O.G.'s in this racing scene.

Again THANK YOU&gt;
