front end lift range and wheelie bar?

<< < (2/2)

Chris At the hit your car will squat down and the bar should hit and should lot lift the front end at all or very minimal . As soon as it comes up on the tire it will most likely hit the bar a second time as it drives the front end up ! On my car it's about 4 to 6 inches ! A little weight on the front will control that part ! I chalk my bar and it hits then skips a couple of feet then hits again ! At least that works for me your results might be different !

You have just described how we run my car.
I leave about 8" of chalk, then it goes away for about 18 inches, then leaves about 4 feet of chalk.  My wheel is about 2.5 inches off the ground.

Now if I can get someone to use go pro on starting line i can what its doing.Man I am going to miss my data recorders,have gotten spoiled using them on cars I help.Plus being in seat. actually mean being in less control for me. I am use to being outside watching every twitch and analyzing it while cars is still making turn off. Harder to go from crew chief to driver than reverse.
