You are correct, John. Our TR4 was virtually undriveable in an autocross. The
back tire came up and spun uselessly. I put on an ADDCO front bar (stock-legal
in both SCCA and VTR rules) and it completely changed.
As has been pointed out, the TR4 is underslung. Limiting the body roll with a
stiff front bar prevents the rear axle from being pushed up by the frame.
Even with the front bar, I can still make the car rotate with a throttle lift.
