Yeah that was with the heavy 6.0 Iron block up front. The new L92 block stroker that we are having built should be at least 85#s lighter. I'll have to adjust for that as well. We don't care duplicate this pass.lol.

Count on James to do that like a pro! So I guess YOU and the car are OK. Now you will have to let me know how I can pull a 1 foot wheelie running 10.80s on a 346! Are you going to calm her back down now or run her like that all next season?

nice pic James! That's exactly what I don't want to do! Very glad to hear nothing was damaged or hurt - You are lucky. My car now sits at LMR where Steven & Josh are going to "iron" out the final things. I hope to have it at the track just after Christmas.

I haven't read where you mentioned installing wheelie bars. Take the safe route and forget the "maybe" fixes! And with the new 85# light motor...be safe for you and Sheila.

There won't be any wheelie bars. I have plenty of suspension tuning options that I did not use to limit the car for the hit we had coming. It won't happen twice

I can tame the car quite a bit as she sits and with the new power plant that's in the works.

Wheelie bars would look so cool driving up in the Kroger's parking lot!

Fire the camera guy and fix the wheelie problem and you're set! Wicked launch man, i bet ThunderRacing will want a pic to prove their bars work.

Thanks man!

I just added another one that Scott Singleton took on the way up. It's in the first post. This was the pic we were shooting for initially and then the bumper dragging thing happened.lol.
