Dunno about the drag strip thing!
I'm kinda going at this back asswards. Normally in pavement cars, bias adjusters are used on the rear brakes to compensate for tire wear and fuel weight. They are used in sprint cars to bias between front left and right to help turn the car.
I installed it in hopes it will give the ability to eliminate the front brakes. There's times when all I want is rear braking to help slide around tight turns. if this thing works I should be able to use all four to slow down quickly then adjust to rear only to make the turns. It should also help in steering control. Buggys have a bad characteristic of loosing steering control when the front wheels are locked and sliding.
