Went to my local track for test and tune last friday night and temps were in the 50s.A local guy with a 99 fire bird,88 truck man.setup had been leaving hard with the front wheels about 16 inches high.He did the same thing he'd been doing on the line but when he left it instantly stood straight up to the bumper!He let off on it(I would too!)it came down hard,busting the oil pan,and flattened the turbo pipes thin as paper!Luckily this was all the damage,could have been much worse.Cool weather and good track prep were the only difference.Car has run a best of 5.60s and leaves like a nitrous car!

Yes he's probably considering a wheelie bar about now!Until then it had only come up no more than 24 inches,then all of a sudden bam!He was going to Memphis,but now dosen't think he will have it fixed in time.
