For example, a drag car maximizes traction at the rear axle while countering the reactionary pitch-up torque. It generates this counter-torque by placing a small amount of counterweight at a great distance forward of the rear axle.
A drag car's design aims to maximize rear-axle traction while mitigating the torque reaction that leads to a pitch-up. This is achieved by strategically placing a counterweight in a forward position relative to the rear axle.
