Need to get the rear corners as close as you can to each other.
Dont worry so much about the fronts.

Also 50% on the nose might not be enough, bring some weight with you that you can add to the nose in case it wheelies hard.

Most DR cars and small tire cars like a larger percentage on the nose.. I've found luck with 52-54%... This weekend it will be ready to rock, we will be testing the 6 or 7 of April...

Good luck on your testing. Can you please hold off and let me hold the record at least until summer time? Lol

Like Stroker said you need to have a certain % of the weight on the front, that plus limiters is the only way to get a radial car down track.

Once you start really getting after it in the 60' it is a very delicate balance.
20lbs on the nose and/or 1/4" of travel is the difference between going down, spinning or dragin the bumper.

Most of you guys already know this, just putting it out there.
