From the angle I saw saturday the tires looked to be about 4 to 5 feet in the air, that pic definately confirms it.

All I can think about is the little kid from the 2nd indiana jones movie saying "hang on lady we gonna go for a ride"

Very nice, guys. Don't I have the OEM hood from that car in my basement? I believe it will be going on my car soon as Ron decided against putting it on his, haha. Now if only I could get the rest of the car in my basement...

That run if I remember it ran a 1.28 60 foot with the rear tires. The car's got a ton left in it with some more playing with it IMO.

Strapping the front end down at this point is 100% needed, but once that's sorted out the results will be awesome!
