ABSTRACT:
System for connecting an axle bracket of a race vehicle to the chassis of the vehicle. A first connecting member is connected to the axle bracket below the axle and extends forward to the chassis, and a second connecting member is connected to the axle bracket above the axle, and extends rearward to the chassis. This causes both connecting members to be in compression when the front end of the vehicle lifts upon rapid acceleration, and reduces chassis flex and improves the structural integrity of the chassis. The system may also include a wheelie bar connected by a third connecting member at an intermediate point of its length to the rear portion of the chassis. This improves traction of the rear wheels by reducing the load borne by the wheelie wheels when the contact the pavement.
