we figured for the banshees a 90hp motor requires about 85 in, so thats what we did.....and the motor placement is the same as my hill chassis, which is a lonestar replica...
I was watching muscle car tv one time and they talked about some method to measure for location of traction bars. It was in relation to the weight distribution versus the length of the wheel base. Dude on tv said if he were to make his traction bars point further towards the front of the car it will keep it down from a wheelie. However he did say, if they put it to far up it would decrease the performance .... somehow. Kind of hard to explain physics & dynamics without a pad and pencil, and in person.

Have you ever been to the Avenal sand drags or any close to the Fresno, Bakersfield areas? I've been wanting to check out the Avenal one for years, but never made it. It seems to be a pretty big event.
