Most insane wheelstand I have ever seen!!

[dville_gt]

You are full of shit and that link proves nothing that you are speculating.

if anything it proves the contrary, they showed the same mustang doing the same thing once with bars, once without. the time without the bars he rolls it over the wall into a million pieces.

they have the tendency to unload the suspension much more violently than the bumper will.. ive never driven a wheelie bar'd car either but imagine being full throttle 100' out and the car comes up on the bar. it's not going to let the car work its natural course of action (going up). but rather make the car find a new course for all the energy its putting out, which usually means going left or right.

its all speculation on my end but i have heard numerous times that putting a 7 or 8 second 1/4 car on the bar is a pants shitting experience.

heres a yellowbullet thread on the topic..

I run bars on my 5.3 (1/8th) 8.5 (1/4) mile car and it makes things way safer in my opinion. It hits them and sets the nose back down smooth. The difference may be that my 60 ft are times 1.12-1.15 and are where I make most of my power. The turbo cars make lots of power down track and react different than mine.

I can see that happening on a poorly tuned suspension set up, making the rear tires bounce up.

how am i full of shit? the link just proves that wheelie bars are not legal for the class and if you dont like the rules dont run the class.

i understand simple physics and human reactions. if your car is at 75* you have a better chance of reacting and getting out of the throttle vs your car being at 20* and unloading the suspension before you know whats about to happen.. but yes the suspension was not set up properly. thanks for playing brian!

The fuck? You were trying to use that link to back up your bullshit speculation on how wheelie bars were worse, and now you're pulling an Obama reversing gears and completely talking out of your ass in stating the link was to prove bars are illegal for x275. Therefore yes, you are full of shit with your speculation and now trying to dodge the bullshit with more bullshit. Just hush.

no i wasnt, i was using the link to correlate the two posts..

The wheelie bars aren't allowed in that class because wheelie bars are good for cars and having no wheelie bars tones the cars down some. Wheelie bars are used to keep the car straight while the front is in the air. If you get on the bars hard enough to unload the tires the front end was going way up anyway. It's when you bounce, have the nitrous come on too hard or your boost comes in down the track where they can be dangerous. Already going speed, the front comes up and catches air and unloads the tires at speed is when you can get sideways. that is not the bars fault is the people tuning the car and suspension.

Maybe Brooks can build a Thunderdome for you two ladies. Two girls enter, one girl leaves.

Yeah, wheelie bars are insanely dangerous.

That's why all Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock cars, (and Pro Stock bikes) have them.

If someone has a "wild ride" on their wheelie bar, then they didn't design it correctly. Period.







I can't help but laugh at FWD cars with them. I know why they use them (NOT for wheelies, obviously) but holy shit they look like training wheels on a bike.

Horse shit. There was no correlation in your post with that link. You were only talking out of your ass about how bars can be more dangerous.

A lot of fast imports do not use them and view them as nothing more than a crutch that tears up the track.
