Default Brace above the PHB
Is it ok to throw it out on a all drag car? I don't see a real purpose for it. I have anti-roll, so I don't think it's doing anything.

Oh and mine has been off for a while as well...

yep, upper panhard rod brace. mine is off as well. it seem pointless weight to me. it is body-to-body (may stiffen the body a lil, but i havent noticed a difference with it gone)

Keep it. When you really start hitting the tires the car will pull to the side, I put this back on and straight as an arrow.

we just took mine out before the last event. and the car was leaving to the side so not sure if that was one of problems or not. hitting the tires pretty hard on a 175 hit
