How to Build a Drag Car in FH6
A drag setup prioritizes launch grip, power delivery, and short useful gearing. Use rear drag tires where available, narrow the front tires if the build supports it, push power output, shorten gears for the distance, stiffen suspension for launch control, and avoid road-race aero settings that bleed speed before the finish.
