that is weird, but it's not the first time i've seen that on our cars. I think Mackey has one of his car with the right side up further than the left. Gotta be something with our chassis setups or maybe our motors spin backwards

This picture was taken Sept. 2004 at Capitol Raceway in MD. Last year the car went on the back bumper at MIR in MD. That was before the wheelie bars. The bars are now set ~6" off the ground. The car will go up as high as you can stand it. BTW, I now have my flight wings.

I'd post one of mine here, but I never took the time to learn how to post a pic on this forum.
