damn if i popped the one front wheel up for 2 ft i would **** myself throw 200 lbs of weight in the trunk, come back and spray off teh line on low tire pressure just to see if i could carry it for 3 ft the next time... must be nice guys to have to worry about ur car trying to fly on you.

what isn't fun is when the front end gets too high and you smash your new headers....i have a video of this somewhere

I pulled the wheels once, when I hopped a curb in my car trying to pull to the right in a tollbooth to wait for someone....

... I also managed to hurl a t-top 10 feet in the air and dent my pass. side manifold in pretty good.

Damn long *** hoods.

Our Firebird usually carries the wheels for 40 to 60 ft or so, but I really don't notice it that much.

Don't ever let out. No matter what.


www.lifeinwidescreen.com/nbm.avi
408 iron motor with 250 worth of bottle

TH400 with T-brake and 2step
Moser 12 bolt with 3.73 gears and a Eaton Posi
28/10.5W/15 MT ET Drags
Weighing in at 3462 for this run. The legal weight was 3450 to be in this class.
Some people will remmember it from Thunder Shootout.

11.20 is not bad right..............I was on the brakes for the better half of the track. LOL
Me, James, and Ryan measured the aftermath. LOL
The bumper was on the ground for 90+ft and the header touched down at 210ft out. GMHTP got the best pic of it at 11:00 with 10ft of sparks flying out of the rear end area while it was completely extended up. I looked under the car to see what sparked and it was the mother Fing trunk. It bend the bumper all the way up and hit the trunk and almost wore a hole in it. LOL

A wheelie killed my car . First pass on the gas and up we go on the rear bumper we land. Out come broken bellhousing, smashed up Kook's header and a cracked block in 3 different locations. 2 years of work for a pass and a half. Back to the drawing board.
