[Spridgets] Question for racers "rear axle"

[crusaderchuck55@aol.com]

    Since a race car is lower than a standard car , here is my question.If you are still using a conventional 1/2 elliptic rear spring, how are you limiting the drop of the rear axle if the car gets light off of an alleged "jump" situation on a road course or hillclimb?   The stock rubber straps are too long with a lowered suspension.   Of you are using a coil over rear set up I figure your shock limits the drop.   On certain hillclimbs we encounter sudden course elevation changes which result in cars getting partially to completely airborne.   I'm leaning towards making clamped cable type travel limiting devices for the Midget.  Anyone consider tackling this and if so, text or a simple picture would be more than welcome.Thank you!ChuckI'm also leaning towards anti-tramp bars to link the area under the front spring mount to the axle to spring mount to controll the springs under hard braking or acceleration.   Hillclimbs around here require using the 5.2 ( think that's the correct number for the postal van ratio?) which can really torque the rear springs on a hard start line launch.C.
