I've run all three at one time or another. I prefer the spool for ultimate
two wheel traction. Follow JD's recommendation and make sure your tires are
the same size. And as Tom said if you break an axle you better hold on. Did
that at Maxton twice, but never on the salt.

Subject: Spool or Posi????

encountered two schools of thought. One is positraction and the other is
aluminum or lightwight steel (roundy-round) spool. My drivetrain guy at Ford
Motor Co, Rob Eaton, sez spool by all means for straightline racing.
