WOW.... You can end-up seeing stars in more then one way by doing that. How easy does the car land when you get the nose up that high? (I hope you don't hurt anything coming back down) Are some wheelie bars in the works for next season?? DD |

It hit the tow eyelets on the front and created a spark show. We were working with the stall-up portion of the VE table and I think we hit on the magic formula. No wheelie bars just a 4-link adjustment and we should be right as rain. It was exciting! Tom |

Thats impressive Tom The Drake Simca is top points contender next year. But you are going to have to get around me and some posable rule changes for next year. Later on that. Me and Rodney are gunslinging after the box cars next year, because we are the last of the fast footbrake cars to go for a national championship. Possum Parkerwhy dont you jump in here bagel and help your rebel buddy |
