I don't really see anythign wrong here.... That's what the bar was designed to do, stop the car from flexing. Just because there's paint doens't really mena much, it's doing it's job

Scooter,
I can’t believe you went through the trouble of removing that bar just to shave a few hundredths off your ¼ mile time.
Why not just pop some EX-LAX and take a POWER DUMP before the run ???

tire pressure should make a noticeable difference
upperstrut bar is dead weight...every little bit counts, right??
road lamps is a debateable topic...could b a Catch-22
gas is dead weight also
side mirrors is a very debatable topic...i've heard many arguments for and against the idea...such as at these speeds, it won't make a difference, our mirrors, the '01's, are way too big and cause too much drag, etc.
so who can join me???? anyone film the races also???

Check out the latest issue of SCC... they did a BUNCH of runs with three types of tires, street radials, drag radials and slicks.
The street radials were SLOWER when they ran them below 30 PSI. They were also SLOWER when they cooked them doing a burnout. Too cold and tires will be hard, too hot and they turn slimey. They used some type of laser thermometer to measure the heat of the tires before each launch and measured the PSI of the tires before each run as well.
Informative reading...
