Could well be an EP85

[rasslenny]

just checked the thread lol hes claiming to be the fastest fwd starlet in the caribbean lol

but i know islanders and they bump there gums with nothing to show for it all the time.... tthat compounded with the wheelie bars makes me question everything that im seeing

[maddox710]

Yeah this car breaks into the 10s

[rasslenny]

the bars definitely not needed though... there bothering me greatly

[Driver]

It make perfect sense. A lot of really fast FWD draggers run wheelie bars to prevent the back squatting too much under launch without making the back really twitchy with solid suspension or lock bars.

[rasslenny]

but then there are cars running 8 seconds with out them and thats a significant difference in time so are they REALLY necessary ....

[wssoR]

As said above there to keep the rear squatting and keep as much traction to the front wheels as possible, hence why there referred to as traction bars now as opposed to wheelie bars

[Driver]

but then there are cars running 8 seconds with out them and thats a significant difference in time so are they REALLY necessary ....

Yes, as they may run in classes that don't allow them or may be road cars etc.

They work.

[rasslenny]

ahhhh oki i stand humbly corrected.... to correct my first post then i believe i am daft lol ...head has been dipped in shame

FWD cars run wheeley bars to push the front end into the floor for as much traction as possible on acceleration when it all lifts up and the weight gets transferred etc.
