Re: Wheel Stand from Hell! Congrats mikey....nice wheel stand....glad to hear damage was minimal. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Anyone have a video or url to the video of the Mustang Fox-Body Coupe that does a wheelstand for what seems like forever, and comes down in the opposite lane? The coupe was in the right lane and came down in the left lane. This video used to be on www.rankinroad.com but that website has since gone defuct.

Nothing left but a waistband........
Awesome show, Mike. I'd love to have your problem of too much power to handle <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Wheel Stand from Hell! mikey...thats a bit overkill...don't you think
you may seriously want to consider getting ahold of George Baxter...he was having the same problem last year and made some chassis corrections now he only lifts them a few inches in route to a 9.0 at 15x

Re: Wheel Stand from Hell! Holy ****!
Mikey I'd say your car is gonna run awesome in Nov., um but I think its running pretty awesome right now!
Any ideas on keeping the nose down?
You can see the initial lift, and carry...then it just powers it on up.
What was the 60' ... um rear wheel 60' <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> .

Re: Wheel Stand from Hell! Larry: Not sure yet on how to keep the nose down but Nick Agostino suggested some changes in the shock settings.
The 60' on this run was a 1.495...lol. Some physics major may be able to estimate what it would have been with the front tires.

I had to watch that about 10 times... intense.
I got kicked off the track doing that on a BIKE. I can't imagine doing that in a car!!

This is the equation I used to determine this if anyone else is interested.
Mikey's foot+InsaneLS1power x traction One big FN wheelie
------------------------------------------ + Extra pair of underwear x 60ft<front wheels = 1.OHCHIT!!!
Good track prep + Good DA
