The key is in the suspension and a drag race 4 link will never work in a corner.

the road race stuff likely would cross over better to the drag strip as they still want traction but will never be as good as a 4 link.



I don't think there is a happy medium. i think you can have huge compromises in both to get to the middle but would not be happy at either event.



the simple answer is to just build 2 cars!!


You’re probably right about the parallel 4 link. I imagine it would be difficult to get around turns with one.
