Also wouldn't Wolfe Racecraft be the king of ford drag racing in Texas?
Both are good options, but far from the best. Just saying


And yes road racing is completely different then drag racing. Chassis stiffening they are "similar" but in terms of setup and knowing where to add bars to perform a specific job they are on complete different planets. I have a lot of experience with building and setting up dirt track cars. The principle is similar in terms of roll center, affective body roll, setting up and designing suspension so you have proper Ackerman angle etc. all of this plays a tremendous role when it comes to how a car will act upon approach, setup, carrying and exit of a corner.
When you want to talk about handling or road racing every race is won or lost with every corner.
