I have, started doing it with low 1.7 60's with ~500 rwhp. Hals, RR airbag and no swaybar are suspension mods and done with a Vig 2800.

I am starting to lean towards trading my m6 for a th350 and a huge stall; can you say wheels up then. <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> Well with a few more mods too. <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />

Yeah, I've been part of that club for a while... someone finally caught it on film two weeks ago... gotta get it scanned <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

I did it with 1500 miles on the car and bone stock rear suspension on ET Streets.

I usually pull mine 2-3". I don't have any video I can post, but a friend of mine taped my launch last night at HRP and I saw it. Pretty cool.

Damn George!! <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0"> I don't wanna any <img src="graemlins/gr_bs.gif" border="0" alt="[bullshit]" /> about your car not hooking, except for Jax, b/c I've been there, and that track doesn't hook

Southeastern part of the state, about 50 miles from Waycross, if you know where that is...

The track itself is literally in the middle of the woods, but it's actually a really nice 1/8th mile IHRA track.

I'll be back there next year for a few races for sure (about a 2.5 hour tow from my home).

Awesome pic George!!
That is unbelievable!! <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
It launches perfectly level. Are you running an airbag? how about subs.
Damn that is nice <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Tony, the car is just plain old red... The color in that picture is a little off.

Chris, no airbag or frame connectors. The car doesn't really launch straight if you view it from the rear. I have a Wolfe Racecraft swaybar laying in the garage that will be installed very soon to correct that...

So George, what did the trophy look like? The one that you won for entering that lowrider hydraulic suspension hopping contest. <img src="gr_tounge.gif" border="0">

LOL!

Email me the original pic and I'll fix the color for ya. Looks nothing like red!
