Well I went up to the 1/4 mile for the first time on Friday...
I think I did reasonably well for having V700 Escta tires on... 12.60 @113/114

Anyways, I have heard of people disconnecting the front sway bar helps the car hook. Question is - does this still work on cars with independant rear suspension?

Shocks - what settings would you recommend? soft? hard?

Looking forward to getting some drag radials for next year (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You can also bump up your front tire pressures to reduce rolling resistance.

If you have adjustable shocks, go soft on the front to allow for more weight transfer.
