    The basic strategies outlined there are aimed at circle track use, mostly dirt track. That article risks confusing folks as to street and drag race setup. I would never, ever design a street/drag setup with the upper link running up hill. The practices shown here are about traction forces under power, not necessarily in a static launch. There are better references out there for uses other than dirt track.
     
  4. For truth, rarely if ever does dirt circle racing tech cross over into street use.

    I like this one much better.

    Those dirt track setups are designed to include rearsteer to thier advantage, very treacherous for the street.
