Just wondering how many of you are running dirt drags, what type of engine configuration and gears are you running, and how well is it working? If you don't mind giving out some secrets. Thanks.

a few of the biggest variables that cause you to miss your time are

::1st varable-tire spin, get some straight paddles full buff with Douglas 125 rims , this is the lightest amount of unsprung weight

::2nd varable wheelie,get some 19 inch for the front, and strap down the shocks or use a solid link, this helps a lot to keep the front down


::3rd varable,YOU, pratice full throttle 2nd gear starts,and allways shift the same rpm range, and once the day starts dont change any thing, even if its not working the way you want its better to be slow and cosistant then fast and all over the place
