TA pulling the wheels in second gear
did anyone see the TA at SLP day pull the wheels in second gear then lose it half track? I have seen mustangs pull the wheels in second before but NEVER seen an F-body do it.
on a side note the car had 3 Nitrous kits on it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> a TNT direct port, NX Gemini Twin, and NOS dry kit plumbed into the airbox. I guess he decided to see which kit really is the best <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: TA pulling the wheels in second gear
I've done that before on my 27in. hoosier QTP's. They would spin all though 1st slam into 2nd and get a little air, swapped out the 4.56's to 4.10's and 28in goodyear eagle's and it stopped.
I dont have no real proof just a few witnesses at the track. Definatly a weird felling the first time it happened.

Thats one bad *** car BUT in my opinion the driver is the real deal. To be able to save a near collision with the wall like that is pure INSTINCTIVE TALENT!

Cliff is an awesome driver and a pretty kick *** guy to talk to to boot. I about freaked when he skid outta control. Was talking to him in the pits and he said he was gonna hafta go change his underwear after that one <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> He was running a 100 shot and running on ET streets, not slicks, lol. Can't imagine that car with an auto w/ stall, slicks and skinnies up front <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: TA pulling the wheels in second gear
That was an AMAZING event to watch!!!!!! I wish I would have gotten a pic of him pulling the tires in second. I managed to snap a couple of him getting swirly on the big end though.
Did he ever try to race again that day?
