How does that make it a street car?

Seen plenty of low budget drag cars that never see the street.

He was saying the question was already answered in the first post.

As delco said, you'll never break a spool.
On the 'bad for corners and tyre wear', thats just a myth. But it wouldn't effect you if you believed what your cousins uncles next door neighbour thought about spools anyway, drag cars dont turn corners...

Ive had a mini spool in my 307 vl with vn head 800 holly high lifter cam, shaved ported head, stage 2 shift kit 2300 stall and it gets driven daily, not flogged but not babies, I haven't broken a single a axle and my tyre last just as long with the spool and I spit it out occasionally, and belted everyone goes on about time and place I have 3km drive way so I use it for fun lol

If you are on a tight budget, don't spend money on a spool, just weld the spiral gears and you will be smoking :smoking:

My understanding was that the mini spool still let the outside wheel spin faster when going around corners.... Just like a auto locker on a forby...
