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.

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

Don't know. Don't care.
I'll take one of those jacks above my post though.

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?
