Here's my take on the smoke.
I'm sure that's exhaust. At the moment where both rear tires left off the ground, the load on the engine dropped considerably. Usually when that happens it'll run rich. If you've seen cars that were tuned at the track make pulls on a DynoJet chassis dyno, you'll see that they usually blow some smoke out of the exhaust.

I edited my original post to include the RED part. I see the white smoke and that is exhaust.

I am talking about the red line that looks like a driveshaft but isn't unless it is broke because it isn't connected to the pumpkin anymore.

^ Beat me to it.

I have a question though - it looks like he moved the rear shocks outside the LCA's (like the old ARE car). Does that still classify it as stock suspended?
