That looked fun!! [Smile]

I'm guessing that was about a mid 1.2 sixty on the rear tires...am I close?

What did you do differently between your previous 'driving miss daisy launches' and the 'attempted flip over launch'?

Wheelie bars and front end limiters in your future?

And to finish up the 20 questions...holy bat man...what size tire are you running?

I'm guessing you are going to be making your cage cert useless once you get that launch figured out!!!!

I just can't seem to talk myself into wheelie bars so I guess NO wheelie bars for me. 60ft time was 1.33 due to front end up so high and less than full throttle the whole way-this was during second pass. First pass of day 60ft was 1.27 with me getting out of the groove and lifting just prior to half track. I tried firmer front shock setting and softer rear shock setting for this test session. Firmer front shock setting seemed to slow front end rise just a hair and allowed rear more time to plant tires. With more traction now available I should have had more power available and thus more wheel speed by bringing my retarded launch timing back in a lot sooner. I think next time I'll set my front shocks on their firmest setting and ramp my timing back in much faster and see what happens. That's what T&T is all about.

Awesome vid Kevin!

Dave Jr. came up to me at Grudge Night last night and asked me, "Did you see Kevin's wheelie yesterday!?" Then proceded to show me what it looked like with hand gestures...lol He told me that it was the biggest wheelie he has ever seen. Which is something coming from a guy who is at the track 90% of the time its open! [Eek!]
