i was looking at making something like this
This is nearly identical to mine and they worked perfectly. I was havine problems with wheel hop on street tires. I added the long bars and launched on 100 shot on slicks with out a problem. If you have a welder making your own bars like these is the only way to go. Buying them is just crazy, they are over priced and so extreamly simple.

both will cure your wheel hop problem but, Caltrac setup is better for traction. just my opinion tho. longbars would be a breeze to make.

I got my ends from sucidedoors.com. I had bar that a friend gave me left over from his roll cage. You can buy bars ready to go from them and they aren't that expencive.

thanks for the tip man. i get 30 roll wheel hop and the tires just fight each other

also, what kind of ends did you end up using? super pivot or the cheaper ones?

what kind of 60 foots are you seeing?
