Some basic simple questions

Curly,
I'm a newbie but I agree with everything said here. I've learned my lesson that my wheelie bar isn't very effective when left in the trailer.
Supercat:
ouch... Any damage or were you lucky?

I agree with the statements about wheelie bars but Bruce / dreracecar was the only one to mention tire circumference.
Please make this a priority in the shop and the pit area.
We have FED's and rear tire circumference is the only thing steering the car when the front tires are off the ground.
Keep it safe and it stays fun !!

I was lucky. The obvious damage were broken front hub and bent rim (fixed by master Jon Hansen - Hayden Wheels). I plan doing a thorough check in the car before racing again. The car has been in storage since that day (life gest in the way).

Thanks for all of the great tips. I run an Altered 5.0 in NE2 and have been fairly successful but the dragster is a whole new animal. My Altered is a four link and I learned how to make it work. The dragster of course is hard tail and I know nothing about how to tune that.. Really looking forward to this and appreciate your help and suggestions. This dragster has been a very good working car so I should be okay or at least have a good starting point.
