Whos Running Without A Rear Sway Bar?

WHo is running no rear sway bar and how does the car handle? I have the front one removed on mine and it's not bad at all and Im wondering if it's the same for the rear?

I always thought a rear sway bar was needed, and a bigger rear sway bar would be better, to help you from going squirly on the launch if you have massive hp and sticky tires.

Big HP, wheelstands and no rear sway bar can be an interesting combination!

I'm pretty sure he had a sway bar similar to the stock one in that picture. The stock one isn't heavy enough.

The easiest way to keep the car level, pulling both sides of the front up evenly, and keeping the car going straight down the track is an OVERSIZE rear swaybar, like the Wolfe or Spohn 1-5/16" solid chrome moly, with adjustable rod-end links.

No sway bar at all on this car:

Still cut some easy 1.5s and ran low 11s on the motor.
