Default 280 Foot Plus Wheel Stand on a Small Shot of Nitrous

We went to Darlington, SC on Saturday 2/12/11 and had a blast! Car ran its best ever NA run of 10.47 ET at 127.19 MPH on its fifth run of the day. I then put the nitrous bottle in it and changed the tune. I had also installed a FJO controller that I was looking forward to playing with. I Locked down the front end and went up for a pass and came away with this video! Let me say right off that it was no fun and actually happened before I could even react!

When the car came down it did not seem to land very hard and was still going straight so since I was on the gas as it was coming down I stayed in it and ran a 10.18 ET at 132.39 MPH! I went back to my pit and checked everything over. Marked the back bumper, front bumper and scraped the headers just a little bit. Everything looked OK so I went out and made another NA pass just to see how the car ran and it ran a 1.41 60' foot with a 10.63 ET at 125.24 MPH with the front end locked down so it seems to be OK.

Thanks, the car pulls the wheels 2 to 3 feet on a NA pass!

I was not trying to make that type of video, but it did turn out pretty good!

125 HP dry nitrous at the air lid!

Actually once it started up I grabbed second and then went to third gear to try and kill the torque but it was to late!!

It was not fun! The engine is a mild pump gas 346 CI and that was a 125 HP dry nitrous shot at the air lid!

There was a lot of folks there only one other F-body was racing though. Of course DBN was there showing us all how to run 9.60’s NA in his C5.

Based on the way the car seemed to not want to come down at all I am sure it would have stayed up longer.

That is a great idea. I am just glad the wife had the video out and was recording that pass. It was not expected and the end result could have been much worse, but it does make for a good video!
