do any of ya'll l know what the max length of the front overhang is from the spindle?
What's the point?
If I did one it would be hydraulic or electric and would extend 10 feet from under my car and then retract after I triggered the win light lolJim Yates won at least one Pro Stock championship with overhang. Once it was figured out, he didn’t win much.
this could be a great joke for sure. the point is if you look at most classic mopars like an a-body they have very short front overhang, like 14" or 32" depending how low they sit. either the tire or the bumper trips the finish beam. now look at a gm car and note how far the front end is out from your tire or bumper and how low the gm's are. the start beams are 3" off the ground and the finish beam is 6" off the ground. all cars trip the stage beams with the front of the tires. the gm's have a finish line advantage with the long front end overhang because the finish beam is 6" off the ground and that is why a pecker extender is a great add on for a-body moparsWhat's the point?
That makes perfect sense, thank you Bobthis could be a great joke for sure. the point is if you look at most classic mopars like an a-body they have very short front overhang, like 14" or 32" depending how low they sit. either the tire or the bumper trips the finish beam. now look at a gm car and note how far the front end is out from your tire or bumper and how low the gm's are. the start beams are 3" off the ground and the finish beam is 6" off the ground. all cars trip the stage beams with the front of the tires. the gm's have a finish line advantage with the long front end overhang because the finish beam is 6" off the ground and that is why a pecker extender is a great add on for a-body mopars
That's a good questionIs there a logical reason why both sets of beams aren't the same height?
If I was to guess? Nhra didn't want cars with noses out front to lose to car that had the wheels in front, but looked like it was behind.....That's a good question
Very nice 70? Or 71 ?
Perfect name for pecker cars , the "narwhal", the "unicorn", & for that mustang the strap-on"Super pecker at Norwalk this weekend View attachment 1715976486

At the line suspension is at rest, low.
Finish line not so much, - you're front end can be "carried" over the finish line, while under acceleration.
