200 mph power wheelie

It was edited so now I look stupid. And yes, power transfers weight, but that doesn't mean you can stiffen the rear/lower the front and expect the same traction.

Yea...it's that easy.
FYI you lower the front and it would block the beams. Stiffen the rear and it wouldn't go 2 feet.
When you can set a chassis up to 60' in under 1 second then you'll have a clue about cars like this.
These things aren't 11 second trucks...
 
They body is not high, the front suspension is lifting do to the hard acceleration, if you made the supension harder in the back the car wouldnt transfer weight and hook correctly.
If you raised the bars 2 inches the car would slam back on them to hard either snapping components and would pull a even worse wheelie all the way down the track. If you lowered the bars you would end up hitting them quicker and lifting the rear end and spinning.
If you did a nascar style nose you would end up catching to much air under acceleration, and would lift the front end anyway. The front nose has to lift somewhat and the suspension has to do its job and transfer weight. The nose is going to lift so the rear can hook.

Its the nature of the beast and you are seeing effects of a strong 4khp turbo car

Yep suspension doesnt transfer anything, its the power that does. LOL

There is a fine line in going fast and flying, he has stepped over it some. Long ago we used to use the wheel bars to help control this at the big end but when the car was not just perfectly straight and the bars hit one first you went whatever direction it wanted. So while the spring load bars work for awhile one to many wild rides said that's enough.

Rich is he running the controllable rear shocks on it? If so he might try a little fast ramp in adjustment on them. Koni and Penske both are both good ones if not.
 
I woulda chit myself riding in it if it woulda stayed on the ground.. let alone after that. All on 10.5 class tires!
 
Those weren't suspension related at all. The tune was jacked...it was putting too much boost in on the back end. They backed it down until it wounded stay down like its supposed to. It should be a linear ramp...it was just too much.

Are you guys gonna try to find a way to harness that power instead of backing it down? I hate the idea of having to back the power down for any reason. It saddens me.
 
they could do like people did with tunnel boats years ago.. after loosing countless boats from flipping they ended up putting a front wing that would add front downforce if it saw to much yaw.. similar to unlimited hydroes..
i had an elimator daytona for a while and if you got them to loose going fast you ended up swimming.. the first time mine cut loose going at a descent speed it came loose and free reved the motor, blown 516 cheby with about 400hp of nitrous, needless to say the flywheel came apart and almost cut the boat in half and neerly sunk.. i sold that figureing i had pushed that hobby past my limit..
 
It logged 10,200 rpm when it went airborne. LOL
640"+ motors aren't really supposed to do that.

They do it just fine...................... once or twice. Remember the old days when 7000 was the limit on big inch motors?
 
I am sure there isnt a whole lot of time to look but could you imagine being the guy in the other lane when that monster passed you on 2 wheels??? :hehe:

Suspension on it's own will do nothing but sit static, it takes power to move the vehicle forward creating inertia and allowing the transition of weight to start.

Laugh all you want, hard tail dragsters, funny cars and almost every REAL race car out there will proove my point.

Best thing you can do is stick to street trucks, this is not retail parts sales... because in the real world of racing your logic is not valid.
 
... and the best thing for you to do is keep riding the 'tire shake train' excuse til the cows come home.

post the shots of your datalogger, because we still don't believe you

You do realize Taylor also crews on Pro Mod cars, right?
All the cars I get to play with are, are Pro Mods on small tires.

I crewed on PS/PM cars long before i got into diesel racing myself, however it didnt make me a expert.

But thats not my beef here.

His sarcasm was.
