I like seeing pics like those. It must be a fun ride.

Ever have concerns about damage when it comes down?

Is that a parachute cable hanging down in the back?

No wheelie bars , the car has double adjustable coilovers all around and limiters .. She wont be doing that again . i under estimated the track prep for the day and did not put down enough power to get some wheels speed . this was the 1st hit right off the triailer on the baby nitrous jet . Car went 1.29 60 on back tire ..

That AIN'T S**T! HAHAHA I still see light under the back bumper!

Awesome - I have been there and stayed in it 330ft down the track you get good at driving the side lines of the track by looking out the drivers window to make sure its going straight.

Time for some sissy bars - I cringed at putting them on but now that I have them it made the car quicker and more predictable. Mine if now pulling consistent 1.25 60ft times with the REAR wheels!

This weekend I am going to Alcohol and should pick up even about .2-.3sec in the 1/4mile. Should be some 8.8-8.9s runs if the track is there...

Good to see you got out. Give me a shout sometime.

Got my wishbone in there I made you?

This was 6th round of PGH big race....against the couple time track champ and I took him down on the brakes at the end!

Ya .. it scraped the cross member and oil pan .. few clicks in the shocks , tightened up limiters and shut of progressive and she was good to go .. the progressive was set at 50% x1.2 sec with a 28 jet .. it needed a bit more wheel speed .

got er to leave like this ..
