Paula

good vid..glad not too much damage and you are okay.... :judge:

paula, get the slo mo vid up. its insane.

Deffinately good wheelie Paula, hopefully its just the oilpan and tailshaft housing. Maybe by the end of the season the latemodel cars can have some good wins over the oldschool cars in NoBull. :drive:

I guess I will have to stick to LMSP for awhile.
Yeah its possible. If they don't do wheelies and try to shoot for the sky.

wow thats nuts

When we did that in Redline's car, we thought it was just the pan on the motor. we pulled the motor to just check everything out, just to find that the block had cracked on the rear by the trans mounting holes. 2 hair line cracks right up the rear. Almost didn't see them.Just take a good look.
Btw: that sucks, it's fun to say you want to put it up on the bumper till you do it.

are you not allowed to run wheelie bars in your class or what?

Damn Paula, glad to hear you're okay (except change of underwear maybe) :lol:
Hope you can get her (him?) fixed soon, I see Bradenton still has the amazing traction I experienced a few times last year.

Oh yeah I agreeg not fun after you see the damage at the track. First thought from me was redlines car. We will be checking the block and all. Did he happen to bust his tranny when he did it. We are a little scared about the tranny busting. I have an extra block but the jackazz who has it hasn't called or brought it back to us. He made a comment about building it and selling it. If he did and I need it he will pay big time.

Almost needed some. LOL If the block is ok she will be ready by this Friday. We are supose to be in G-ville for a grudge race with HER LOL and the stang. Only fear abot it. Driving her up and i she breaks I do believe the tow bill will be heart stoping. LOL


To answer GDM Z28 I do believe I could run wheelie bars in my class. If I get one it will have to be a detachable one. I will not drive everywhere with it on. We are getting prices on one from several different places. Yes we will be changing stuff to help prevent this.

I knew I should have went. Last time you did that you had it on the road 2 days later, is it fixed yet? Tim.

i was just wondering if you could run them or not because this has happened to you before right? when you go up on the bumper do you totally get out of it or slowly get out of it? The car is sick, get her/him back out soon.

Tell me about it, that shit is scary as fuck, I was right behind her gettin ready to do my burnout watching her as she did it and it looked scary as a motherfucker!!!!!! Then after they cleaned and prepped the track, I almost went up on the bumper too, at first she came out straight, but then out of nowhere I felt the car start goin left in the middle of the wheelie and let out and hit second and nailed it again as I started to come back down to try and ease it, but she hit hard and I heard a loud thud, started lookin in the rearview for smoke and nothing, so I kept goin, we looked under the car and nothing was touched, came to the conclusion that the stock kmember is saving me, cuz that's the second time i've had to let out of a big wheelie and smacked down b/c of her goin left, I just really don't wanna do that too often, worried that the force hittin the kmember may crack the block where the solid motor mounts are mounted on the motor, so far all is good though, so I gotta figure out why she's goin left so I don't do that anymore! But if I had been able to stay in that launch, it either would've gone on the bumper or stopped a little before and rode it out to a nasty 60', she went 1.322 with me lettin out and gettin back on it, and I know I didn't trip the 60' lights before I let out! I gotta try gettin some travel limiters and a few other things to keep her down, I really don't wanna go on the bumper and I have my suspension set to hit pretty soft, might try stiffening up the shocks some more in the front too and see if it helps.

Not yet. Hurt a few more things we are sure. Maybe by Friday if the block is ok. We are supose to be at SunShine Saturday for the Street nights. Just don't know if she will be ready

Yeap the second time she landed smooth and didnt even spark. was a good wheelie. But I never let out. I was told before if you let out it will come down hard. But honestly I think fear kicked in and I froze. I just remember being stiff and scared shitless when I seen nuttin but blue skys. Thats the truth guys. I am not scared to say it anymore. This girls balls are to big for her own good. :jest:

I'm really sorry you hurt the car. Great job driving.

I've been fortunate that I've always been able to shift near the top and I've never lifted. Couple that with the QA1Rs and it helps to soften the landings. The one in the sig with the four tire air caused a hairline crack in the oil pan and that's the most damage I've seen. I count my blessings as I already spend too much on the car.

Thanks The fear kicked in too. LOL


My QA1Rs were set at 8. It was like a stick of c4 was put under her. Man, I want to know what it hurt. Greg has been too sick today to go check her all out. So I have been a little bitchy.

Paula,

Coming to Gainesville in the future? Do keep me updated as I'd like to check out the ride in person!
