I purchased a front engine dragster that we will be running in NE II in 07. I looking for a weight bar or something around 45 lbs. for the front end. I have seen some cool weight bars on other dragsters. Is there anyone who manufactures these ? I will be at LACR this Saturday for test & tune Any help would be great. Thanks, "Snarlin" Dwight Garland

Mine has a solid 3 1/4 inch round steel bar about 18 inches long. weighs about 40 pounds. I'm getting ready to make new clamps for mine... I can make 4 in just a little more time than it'll take to make 2 if ya need a pair.

Billet 6061-T6 aluminum.. I'm assuming the front tube is 1 1/4". I'll get back to ya on a price and do some research to see exactly how much bar you need for 45 pounds.

I looked up the weight, you need 19 inches of 3 1/4 round bar to make 45 pounds. still tryin to make time to make clamps. I'll let you know when I can get it done. I can't even make time to degree my cam or paint my chassis in right now.

I made my weight out of lead wheel wrights just built a fire in the yard and got a old loaf pan from my wife when she was not looking started throwing the weights in as they were melting down I just kept adding more lead weights and use a old fince rail to flick the steel mounting clips out of the pan as the steel clips will flote on top of the melted lead . Don't anybody build anything anymore ??  Check it out on www.youtube.com/budssupereLater Bud |
