I know that there are very few cars with wheelie bars on here, but I thought I would try and get a discussion going about wheelie bar tuning. The Vega that I drive has short wheelie bars that are spring loaded. They are actually bent up and really look like crap, but they are getting the job done right now.
Can someone possibly explain the advantages of the different styles of wheelie bars? Sprung vs Unsprung, different lengths, driving the car with the wheelie bar setup etc.
I have learned a little with the Vega since it gets up on the wheelie bars and rides on them for about 60 feet. If I try to get into the second stage while up on the wheelie bars, the car will turn to the right, but on ones stage it goes perfectly straight with high 1.20 60fts. Typically I get on the second stage when I feel the front end hit the ground again. I would like to get the wheelie bar tuning figured out and be able to get on the second stage shortly after launch and know that the car will go straight.
Thanks
