Drag Racers: Strut Tower Bars?
 
Do you have a STB on your racecar?

LTb1ow 10-03-2009 02:39 PM

Nope.

He said race car matt

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.

i dont run one

sweetbmxrider 10-04-2009 11:04 AM

get a roll bar instead!

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..

Not a race car...yet anway, but I have a UMI STB.

ib4200 12-15-2009 07:19 PM

does my vote count?

kazman 12-25-2009 10:06 AM

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.

12secondv6 12-28-2009 11:36 AM

Race car - no
Street car - yes
