It's not wheelstanding if that's what you're thinking. It's carrying the front tires approx. a foot off the ground but too far. It needs to settle down sooner.

You're welcome. I knew you would enjoy the 8.5 index. It's a fun and very competitive class without the need to run your **** on kill all the time.
