What do all of you reccomend to set up my Z for drag racing. I don't want the front end coming up. Some people say to ratchet strap the front shocks down. I'm open to suggestions

Check out what I did on my Raptor for sand drags You dont say if you are doing sand, pavement or dirt but my set up will work on all surfaces, It may be a bit bumpy on dirt though.

I'm sorry. I'm racing on clay at my county fair this Thursday night.

Thanks I like them too!!
I picked up the struts & rod ends at a local shop that builds sprint cars. Since there are a lot of dirt tracks in the North east you shouldnt have any problem finding a chassis builder or a speed shop.
I have less than $50 in the strut set up.

They really help keep the front end down!

I work at IBM corp here in Endicott NY. This morning, I welded up my own bars, we'll see how they work when i get them home tonight. Only need them for one race a year so they don't have to be all polished and fancy
