How do you keep the wheel hop to a minimum if you spin on launch? My miata (and all my friends) have aweful wheel hop.

Why would you remove the rear bar? Not too many corners in the 1/4 mile you know :)
|
I am dying to see if that rear holds, if it does, I'm waiting for a bit. Especially considering I will only be at 10psi when its done. Its great being the underdog. And crowds love miatas at the strip, its odd, until you get your ass kicked by one.

I believe it has to do with allowing the car to put to power down more evenly, since the sway bars are connected, if the right rear digs in to the pavement the other will lift up a bit and spint, and you dont launch as solid and straight.

good question, but I would take his word for it as I believe Mark knows a thing or two about drag racing.

This sounds plausable. And I guess it might be worse (or better?) if you have some amount of pre-load on the sway bar. |
here's an interesting discussion....http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=69407
I think I was on the right track. |
brainy is on the right track IMO - it's all about compliance. Similar to why road racers unhook swaybars in the rain - the priority moves from high G lateral traction where the sway is important, to surface traction where the tire's postion to the track is important. btw- hybridZ is a good resource for DIY car projects.

did you win??

he's probably still at the track picking up pieces of his diff off the track

I'd pay to see this race.
