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...

You are correct it went from setting on all 4 tires to dragging the bumper in no time! I grabbed 2nd gear and then went straight to 3rd gear to no avail and could only see the sky and the centerline of the track. I focused on keeping the steering wheel straight and as the car started coming down I stomped on the go pedal to help soften the landing as much as I could!

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 I will not forget for some time to come for sure! I was hoping it would start dropping after shifting into 3rd gear but it did not so I finally had to let off the gas and then get back into as it started dropping!

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.

Here is a great photo the owner of the track took from Darlington Dragway of the Formula! This was on the 10.47 NA pass!
