Bet my car gets less mileage than yours does!

Therefore, race car. From one end of the driveway to the other. Sometimes back.

I know it really takes the cowl shake out of the hood on a street car and would have to guess that it can't hurt to have one on a race car. There is quite a bit of torque twist from a launch, that a strut tower bar could control.

Isn't the point to remove weight from the front?

Fixed!

But yes, off the front especially.

no strut brace here either. SFC and a beefy drag rear swaybar keeps my car leaving straight. To my understanding, a STB was more for handling purposes.

If the car was doing some serious wheel stands like a super stocker I would reccomend it to keep the towers from deflecting when it sets the front end back down. Other than that there would be little benefit from running one on a drag car..

No strut bar or front sway bar. Do have sub frame conectors, welded in drag racing rear sway bar, and a 8 point roll bar.
