Well the oil pan was well worth the thrill of this pass. The Queen is one happy gal )

Been there and done that on DR's, luckily, not with that carnage. Looks like 26" fronts? I run 27.5" fronts that cushion the blow a bit more and give a bit of ground clearance. Awesome, and I hope you are back on the track soon. Take care. Dave

It got the oil pan, scraped some paint on the back bumper did more damage to the front bumper (keep in mind the car was painted in Dec) A small dent in the headers. One that you can barely see. Thats about it.

Great driving job Paula, you drove it right through the wheelie. The car looked like it went nice and straight with the new suspension stuff, now with those Madman bars you could do that all the time and not hurt the car(except the back bumper).

Well it has been lifting the tire for awhile now, it used to twist and pick up the driver tire only once in awhile would it lift both tires. We put the new suspension on and it came up straight.
The motor setup is a 383 LS1 Stroker with forged internals. That pass was on a 100 shot dry. Greg never got a chance to turn on the wet he said it wasn't coming down so he wasn't gonna turn it on. I believe that is the first time I have heard him say "F yeah that scared me that tighten me up"

congrats. hopefully i'll be able to do the same thing in a few months when my project is complete... 383 LT1 w/AFR 227's and big solid roller and 300 shot dry system..... TH400 with 4000 stall converter and a brake.... should be able to get it up nice...

You really need to get some Madman SYA bars.... 100 bucks for em and will no doubt save you thousands in the long run pulling wheelies like that... I'm ordering them in about a week before my motor even goes in.....
