So in my search to tune this big heavy wagon up front I found a couple guys that swear by running no front shocks. What are the thoughts on this? They claim that due to my wagon's heavy weight that its best to run without front shocks.
Drag racing with no front shocks?

I can't see how you would control the car. I think these guys are nuts but I have to ask. I'm still new to going down the strip but I'll say, I love my 90/10's.
I did it once with my 63 and that was enough. Kind of scary on the top end. 
Either that or be waaaaay behind me!
I'm sure it's a NHRA requirement to have a shock on any suspended axle.
Oh he will be!!!
What made me first ask around about it was some footage of GRUPY JENKINS in one of his cars. If that car had shocks in it then there was no guts in those shocks because it bounced around like he was at a lowrider competition as he came up to the line. It took off and kept the nose up all the way down the track but did look pretty loose up front. I haven't experienced any control issues with my 90/10's but with anything its important to ask and understand.
He could have drilled them to let the oil out. Not sure I would try it.
