The end of the face book link from @93TRANSAM has the wheelie video. There was another guy with us that has a video as well and I'm waiting on him to upload it on Facebook.

I was gonna say that'll buff out, but in your case, cover it up!

It's hardly noticeable when standing next to the car. Other than the smashed headers it really wasn't a big deal.

Just nasty! Wish I was able to watch it in person. If you ever plan on being @ a Midwestern track I'll be there if at all possible. I'd have to change my race suit after making a pass like that. Have you put on the limiters yet? How about double adj rear shocks?

There's a phrase that seems apropos here:

"That thing was really flying down the track... No seriously.. actually flying!"

Got a pilots license?

As a matter of fact I do (seriously I soloed on my 16th Birthday and had my Private Pilots license 2 days before my drivers license, lol)

Limiters are going on tomorrow as well. I have strange 10 way adjustable front struts and Qa1 single adjustable coil over rear shocks. I'm going to try to work with them for the next few trips to the track. I was talking to Chris Alston Jr. this morning about switching to his double adjustable vari shocks but he was asking for a little more test data first.

Should have kept the A/C weight, least you'd be comfortable in the cabin while looking at the sky

That's a good point though, have you considered 3.27s? Anything else is overkill and I think it would solve your wheelie problem.

being honest here... when we went 4.11 to a 3.70 we were able to 60' harder and actually faster to the 1/8. made the power more manageable
