Has this been tried? Pull bar to the left for initial bite with torque arm with 5th arm progressive or light spring.... latemodel.

I have seen it before. Car worked best on slicker tracks.

That's what I was thinking it would be better for... slick tracks. With the open motors, werun the hard tires in our series. Am I thinking right about having a softer spring or maybe the progressive 5th coil?

I believe the theory is to let the pullbar do more work as the track dries out. I am not a fan of progressive springs, but this deal would take some experimentation regardless.

We were looking that we were going to buy one time as a backup that had both a pull bar and what looked to me like a 150 or lighter spring on the 5th coil. Made sense because the track he ran on was a 1/4 mile very slickery track.
