I have talked to a few guys with the short glide and driveshaft Parks uses that setup because it is lighter.

He likes the top end speed with the larger tires if he gets a good launch. Charlie does an amazing job for a guy who builds everthing himself motors trans and rears and the speed he runs is mind blowing. but he is still a budget racer pushing his equipment to the max.

Roo Man's Room / Killer Tire shake Need Help.

« on: August 10, 2015, 06:49:13 AM »

My friend has a former tf 2001 sterling chassis dragster he has raced the car for several years , this season he stepped up his engine program using a blown bbc 496 inch engine the car has always had a problem with tire shake but this year has been horrible. he runs a large rear tire set up, I will get the exact size. with the prior engine he ran mid 6's with a top speed of 210mph the car has always run a big block chevy. any idea on thing we could try or look for. the car looks like the tire rolls over its self and has bent and broken the wheelie bar in the past. the tire shake is so violent that it has damaged the car on several past runs. there is no driving through the shake. any suggestions would be appreciated.
