Rodney,
Nice Wheelie!
Thats some big air!
You need to go see Mad Man and get your launches under control!
Sorry about the carnage, but man are you are flying.

Damn Rodney, nice wheels up vid, but brutal destruction! Definately makes me glad I finally replaced my driveshaft in the Nova. After all, it was the STOCK 307 powerglide trans one, and only 35 years old!

thats a nice wheelie, but why does it comes down so quickly?
it goes up "smoothly forward" but it "looks" like you had wheelie bars and then just falls instead of a forward landing..
just curious, i'm a suspension noob...

welcome to the world of manual trannys, we leave the line and hit the tires harder but a clutch dont slip and pulls the motor down so it dont stay up
id still rather my manual tho, the instantaneous g-force off the line makes it all worth it, feels like a mid 9 sec car for a split second

Awesome video SMOKIN01TA. Your car looks bad *** man. I watched the video the other night but didn't have time to post.
Sorry to hear about your drive shaft. My brother Bill the roofer was going to buy an aluminum drive shaft. 69 Camaro big block running lower 9's. I told him about this post He's keeping his Chrome Moly DS.
I always enjoy your posts
