Default Need picture(s) of C3 Corvette pulling the front wheels off the ground

Howdy, I'm designing a banner for my website. Does anybody out there have a cool picture of a C3 pulling the front wheels? Or, any other cool pictures of C3s PERFORMING?

Cool picture Rich.
I hoping this year I can get my left front wheel maybe 2 or 3 inches in the air!!! As long as I get a pic, I won't care if I break anything!

Just out of curiousity, what kind of torque and slick size would it take to get a C3 to yank the front wheels off of the ground. Obviously you're going to need a tranny, driveshaft, halfshafts and rear end that can handle the power. Does anyone have any rough estimates?

This car makes about 600hp. It's a naturally aspirated 350 and runs 10.26@128 on 10" slicks with an independent rear suspension, not a solid axle.

You don't need that much. The track photographer got a picture of mine pulling the driver's side about 2-3". (on Drag Radials) And I know I don't make the power some of you guys do but the car hooks well...most of the time. It was on N2O at the time though. I bought the photo and had a T-shirt made with it. The caption reads "SLO POKE RACING"

I should have added that that 69 has a transbrake making those wheel stands quite possible. A stardard would do it but at the expense of being quite harsh on the drivetrain.

Oh YOU are the source of that first picture!

I've had that on my hard drive for a while. :D

Any idea what kind of numbers that guy generated for ET and MPH?
