This was the same angle I was at, I had planned on getting the recorder out next pass.

Thanks for the link!

And correct John.. The car that wheelied was a TA ws6, there was also two white formys.
I'm pretty sure he broke something because I didn't see the car again after that, not even parked or loaded up.

I ran down the track with that white TA one time and I am so glad that did not happen during our race because if I remember correctly he ran a low 60 to my mid 50's so I would have been right there! Glad no one was hurt, cars can be fixed racers cannot!!

I lived through one of those wheel stands earlier this year. Very glad to see the car stayed right side up!

I was the driver of the white ta. I have a bad oil leak that we think might be either the rear main or a crack in the oilpan. I had madman SYA bars on it so it wasnt too bad. License plate bent in half. Headers are a bit scratched. All in all not too bad, but then we havent dropped the motor out yet. There are quite a few videos on youtube. Look up white2000ta. Here is a normal pic though.

I came by and talked to you in the pits right after the rain. I wish I would have got a pic of the rear of the car after to show everyone the plate bent in half, but I didn't want to pour salt in the wound. lol

Oh i remember. here is a pic of the bumper. Nobody got hurt except the car, so i'm interested in seeing whatever pics/videos there are. Ive been looking to see what caused it to go so wrong. The nitrous shot was the same as it had been all day. Bottle pressure was up a little bit, and i had about .5lb more air in the rear tires.

Yup. The show me state . Usually shifting brings it down smooth, this time it just kept pulling until I let out. Then bang, back to the cold hard ground. Damn gravity.

Ray Litz (Koolrayz) made a nice pass in the 5.30's (impressive at his weight) for a street legal car. Nice job Ray.
I would assume you are talking about me or Wayne. I was at a local race less than 2 hours from home and Wayne and Steve were gone to pick up a new car trailer. I couldn't justify driving that far to race when the payout wasn't worth it. I feel like I won the race out there anyway with Brian Black taking it home. Heck I even had parts on a car in the real street class.

Congrats to all my friends out there that did well! Paul, Ted, Brian Black and Mr. Hopkins, Im glad yall all had a good weekend. I just wish Meeks would have turned it down some and went some rounds instead of just hunting for a number.

They really should get rid of that whole gravity thing.

Thanks, and it was nice pitting next to you guys too. I haven't decided yet, but we may be in Georgia......

I understand why you guys didn't make it. Staying local for the same money saves alot of traveling costs for sure.


Consistency goes rounds and wins races, gunning for records normally doesn't

Gravel Road Tuneup to the front!

Thanks Justin.

Great to meet many of you guys too. I had a blast on the True Street Cruise with all the people of Bowling Green stopping and staring at all the 8, 9,10,11 second cars. I think I was the lone Thirdgen F-Car there.....

I was pretty pumped getting third averaging 9.57... (9.56, 9.61, 9.52) David's car is in another league although I thought that black Nova had something for him. Nope...

Glad you came to Piedmont, it was awesome seeing you run that 5.01! I really wanted to see you and Chad in the finals though. You and him matching up in the finals was the buzz throughout the pits the whole day. Too bad it didn't go down and the one wheelstanding machine out there, put the bird on the trailer after it wheelstanded 3 times lol. Oh well, you gonna be at civil wars at The Rock?
