Maybe that should go into the insurance thread. To live through something like that only to get wiped out by a drunk sounds like some sort of Karma thing.

There's a good looking cage around the right hand side driver in that pic.

That shot really shows the flex in the chassie and body as it is pulling up.

Nice shot.

:D

This isn't a wheelstand, it's the 600# driver overloading the right side of the cobra....... Just kidding!

Yeah, And look at the rear tires. I rest my case based upon my earlier post about this.

I have been told by friends I trust that Gunrack has been known to pop the LF off the ground for a half-second or so on a hard 2nd gear parking-lot launch@3500RPM. (Huge, empty old WalMart parking lot, I don't do this often!)

Sticky Nitto street slicks @18lb, I haven't seen blue smoke in almost 3 years. She just squats down and grabs asphalt. Burnouts are for kids that lose races and have too much money.

How do I vote in this poll?
