What's the "custom traction control" he mentions....

Mike was the 1st (and still only to my knowledge) to design and use, a custom traction bar set up for his front axle.
I'm sure Manu (SHOdded) can dig up his write up on it, located somewhere. He's good at unearthing old info for sure.
Bottom line though, I know from my direct conversations with Mike, that the mod did not perform as expected.
He was hoping to minimize front end lift at the track, by keeping everything tight/buckled down in layman's terms.
It was an experiment nonetheless. I miss his involvement in this platform quite frankly. But I suppose people move on eventually.

No writeups about the traction bars that I can find ATM ...
I will have to repost it in a HOW TO (?) as I cannot find the thread here. So by tomorrow 4 sure!
Ok , I kind of remember reading that when I was having wheel hop issues.
