WELL FRAME IS BENT- STRUTS PUSHED THROUGH THE CASTER PLATES- WILL FIND OUT MORE SUNDAY. BODY GUY COMING OVER ---- ITS A MESS CHARLES YOU SUCK - WEDDING - LOL
Sorry to hear this Gerry. Been there done that but I couldn't ever get mine back under control and ended up wrecking it. I have since learned that it is better to blow the tires off than do a wheelstand. You have to keep the front end tied down on these cars.
Was it higher than this ? Don is only 72 yeas old ....he won the round and the car is still alive...aint got no wheely bars....sounds like you got skerard and chopped the throttle .
those wheelies are cool to watch ,but you can tear alot of stuff up in a hurry..sounds like you pulled a Damon there. He tore some stuff up too ,dropping it like that. Good luck with it.
I find it funny..........I see so many guys go to the moon, keep their foot in it till the back tires are OFF the ground, then LIFT........and BANG....$$$$$$
Try this.............when you cant see the track no more, EASE out the throttle a bit, till it just starts coming down, THEN nail it and ride it out!!
Sorry to hear that i was wandering how you did Friday night.I was going to ask if it rained at Norwalk but you answered that question for me.It rained hard in Aurora when i was at work,Later Mark.
Gerry, if you don't already have struts with external adjustable valving it might be an idea to get some and use them in conjunction with the limiters. That way you can control both the speed of the strut's extension as well as the total distance of there extension.
she is fixed - wasnt as bad as we thought some minor cosmetic paint chips- but im so happy ... see you guys late thursday
