Default Building a Sport Compact Drag Car

Hi Guys!

Im busy building a Drag Car, will post pics tomorrow. (the car was street legal until now, but going all out now)

Need some advice on ways to cut the cars weight down, any tricks out there?

Also need some rim size and tyre advice(Using Spin Werks Drag Rims&Skinnies and will be getting some M&H Slicks aswell)

My windows are all perspex now, does the windscreen stay glass??


Thanks

Any pics and advice will be great!!!

I certainly hope you didn't use perspex brand glass. You might want to look into Lexan brand for the glass. Most people will use Lexan in the Windscreen as well. But it all depends on the safety regulations at your local track.

thanks!

Yes its always nice to see whats happening across the world.
When it comes to drag racing of any sort I think there is no better place to learn and get advice than from the Honda boys in the USA !!

thanks again!
