Stood it on the Bumper all right! Looked like it was going straight. Hope the damage isnt too bad.
"The Wheelie" comes in around 4:30 or so in the video.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, at least you got it on film. The couple times mine went up real high I never got a picture, nor a video.

Oh well, awesome performance, darn shame about the resulting damage.

Weird feeling, ehh Ron???

Like Todd said, at least you have it on video. :thumbsup:

Now you get to deal with the problem. You know the car has enough nutz to go up on the bumper when conditions are right, so you'll need to figure out how you want to deal with that in the future. From what I've read about your car and how you want it to be (ie.."street"), I don't see wheelie bars being in the picture :noway:, so I'm guessing you'll be playing with front end travel and rate of rise. :yes:

Sorry about the damage, but it doesn't really sound too bad. :noway:

Thanks for the eye candy! :D

Part of me was happy to see it, part was sad to think of all the work that will have to be done now. Kinda like a really bad car wreck-you love to see it, but feel bad for wanting to.

Nothing like a little juice to liven things up a little!

Yes it was definetly up there,I saw a dodge duster at the Indy nationals in the stock class do the same thing.He road it out for what seemed half a track and it finally came down.It has to be scary being there.Theres no doubt your suspension is working now time to get it under control..Hopefully you get it back on the track soon....good luck

Thanks guys. I finally got to see the videos. Too bad the quality is not all that great. Sure would like to have seen a GOOD still shot. Looked like there was a photog in one of them. Whoever he was......

Anyway, what a strange feeling that was. Time to add the progressive unit and keep it down a bit.

I have surveyed the damage and it's not too bad. One smashed header, and I can fix it. The oil pan is a bit wrinled, but not in the rear of the sump where the pickup is. And the headlights fell off the adjusters....pretty funny, I was looking at the ground 3 feet in front of the car on the drive home. Car drives normal.
