High front end on old dragsters
Does anyone know why, on old dragsters like in the pick below, did they raise the front end up high? Was it to shift the weight to the rear wheels for traction? Did they do this by installing a straight axle?
Just curious. I always thought it was a cool look.

On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

See, point and shoot isn't always boring!
That would have been cool to see.
Just nit picking, but not all of them are gassers :)
Later on, when tire technology caught up with horsepower, they stopped that silly stuff, put the cars back down on the ground, and went a WHOLE lot faster with a whole lot less hp...
Nit Picker!
