Default wheelie video from other night and broken drive shaft pics
this was 2 runs before i snaped the d/s, it was the smaller of the 2 wheelies, the bigger one was atleast another foot higher

and here are some pics of the carnage from the last attempted run, you can see it did some small abuse to my bottom straight flat bar on the d/s loop which now has a huge bow in it and the trans tunnel mount is bent where it hooks in.

Is that a stock driveshaft? Looks like you put it through alot of abuse, no wonder it let loose. Nice times and wheelie by the way.

I think that's what I'd consider a "perfect" wheelie. More than a wheel hop, but not slamming the bumper to the ground either. Very nice

Time for a thicker driveshaft............ Nice wheelstand though!

On another note, why does the rear end look like it's leaking?

Go with a Denny's "Nitrous Ready" driveshaft. If you ever break it they will replace it for you for free

sorry coach, believe it or not im actually very good on the lights when im trying in a race, however when i just doing test n tune and trying to max out the car and dial it in i honestly dont pay any attention to the lights, i just see it start then i look at the tac to make sure im leaving consistantly. my normal lights are .01x or .02x when im there to race
