Here are a couple of tips / tricks you can do to prevent wheeling off the line.
1. Place your body weight to the middle / front of the ATV. This will allow proper weight distribution. I like the middle because you still have enough weight at the rear to get the tires to hook up, yet you have enough weight in the front to prevent wheeling. This also depends on bike setup, how much you weigh etc. If the middle position doesn't work for you, try something else.
2. Start off in 4 wheel drive. This will allow proper torque distribution to all 4 wheels. If you start out in 2 wheel drive, all the power is going to the rear. Using 4 wheel drive off the start will: A. Help get you traction off the start (All 4 tires turning instead of 2). B. Rotating force in the front end will help prevent the front end from popping up. Of course halfway down the track, you can switch back to 2 wheel drive. You now have enough traction and energy that 2 wheel drive is optimal. This also depends on track conditions.
3. One more thing you can do is tighten up your rear suspension. This allows the weight transfer to the rear to be asorbed better. Lowering your front end will help (strap down, lowering kit etc).
If anybody has anything else, post up.

Bolting weight onto the front would be ideal for mud bogging but not necesarily drag racing.
