Default Video of car!!!
I got pretty lucky on this pass. Besides from the wheelie bars folding, I only hurt the dowpipe(exhaust) from the turbo.

What did you run? Why did you have all the smoke under the car at the 330?

Oh and you are as crazy as ever.

The smoke is when I pedaled it. The smoke is from oil backed up in the turbo. I let out of it once I finally got it settle down from the 3rd wheelie or so. Since we broke the bars on that pass, we turned it down considerably for the next pass. The next pass we left on only 5lbs of boost and still went the best 1/8 mile time the car has ever gone with a shitty 60'. I will give yall some numbers after we make a full 1/4 mile hit .

The wheelie bars folded(bent). I lifted because if I would have stayed in it, it would have kept coming up and eventually hit the bumper. I knew it must have bent the bars because of how high it got so I had to try and pedal it back down.
