This paper discusses the development of several models and accompanying results for the simulation of the longitudinal and vertical dynamics of a front wheel drive drag car. Models developed include provisions for wheelie bar, chassis flexibility, and anti-squat geometry.The simulation computes quarter-mile times and speeds for various combinations of input parameters. It allows for the analysis of the various factors that affect steady state axle loads and dynamic load transfer, their effects on traction, and the resulting quarter-mile times. Results of case studies examine specific vehicle components and parameters and their effects on performance. These include the wheelie bar, wheel rates, anti-squat properties, and chassis flexibility.
