Much respect for staying in it! I can totally understand how scary that is. Lift is one thing, a wheelie is another.
Guys, just keep in mind that you're staring at the sky, you can't steer, and there's a split second when you're praying that you land straight. You're blessed that one of your rear wheels didn't hop.
Please frame that...

I hope it is the only time I ever experience that feeling! When it finally started to come down I focused on keeping the steering wheel straight and mashed the go pedal through the floor to help soften the landing. The 1/8 mile time was 6.45 ET @ 107.82 MPH.
It was a ride for sure! I hope I never do that again!!
That is exactly what I said when it jumped up on the back tires so fast!!

Well I have done it once and that is all I want!! The car is a 346 CI LS pump gas engine, 11 to 1 compression, bolt ons, TH400 and 9-inch with 4.11 gears! You can see all the details in the racing department under the 10-second club section under my thread call Good 3,000 RPM launch!
I thought about that in that half second I had but did not want to take a chance on it pulling right or left! I bet it would have gone the 1/8 mile if I would have done that!! Limiters are already on there and on that pass they were set to allow 2.5 inches of travel. I just plain missed the setup on the nitrous pass.
It was a ride for sure!
