in previous post, my WD45 pulls to the left when front comes up. Moved the weights to the left, moved draw bar to the right 1/4 in, tire pressure same. Question is, do I weight the back and try to steer with the brakes which doesn’t work well.. Or weight the front enough to be able to steer and be able to pick my spot on the track. The last option seems to work but I keep side guessing that I need the weight on the rear, I see everyone with the front 18+ inches high. Opinions needed.

Doing a wheelie may impress the spectators, but having your front wheels just barely touching the track or no more that an inch off the track will get you further.
 Personally when going over 20MPH I'd rather be able to control my direction with a little steering.
If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.

Other than being able to steer, my thinking is keeping the front down also keeps the draw bar up lifting the front of the pan, make sense. Just trying to figure out the pros and cons..
