I swear that car spends more time on 2 wheels than all 4, haha.

LOL! My Dad and the LMR guys are already back at the track with it this morning. You are correct the wheelie bars were on the car. The bars were raised fairly high on that run. They were playing with some different combos trying to get the car to hook on that track.

Got some frequent flyer miles on that pass. Torque arm suspension is no bitch.

Just got home from the Pontiac Performance Magazine shootout.

Josh tuned down the initial hit from last night ( the video above ).

We made 4 passes...9.20, 8.64,8.77,8.68 First pass, was a bottle pressure issue. The other 3 were all very safe, fat tunes on a conservative hit. Drove the car on the trailer and will likely be racing tomorrow night weather permitting

Thanks again to the guys at LMR! We all had a great time.

Larry
