The drag strip is a place where you can now break many of your street parts with ease, if you want a successful drag car, you need to build it for that purpose from the start... I did see where that rear end wheelie bar bracket was bent to one side pretty bad already... if not caught before another run is made and the car needs those to do a good job of keeping the front wheels from going skyward, that could cause a nasty wreck... Big holes drilled or cut into parts that need all the strength they can get, is a bad idea IMHO But kids will be kids, no matter how old we get... hehe Check complete chassis after each run...

I can confirm that drag strips are hard on street parts. But in my experience, street buckets are nearly unbreakable if running slower than about 11.0 but once you see the 10s or quicker, you go thru parts like fat kids go thru cake.
So really, you owe it to yourselves to take your bucket down the quarter mile at least once in your lifetime. Odds on, you wont break anything, and you will have a ball doing it. And want to come back next week to see if you can go faster.
