Oh sure rub that in! Will it keep the front end down, that's what I'm curious about.

And you aren't even putting out huge hp numbers. Weight is a big winner here.

if those were drag slicks I bet it wouldn't. it wanted to come up even with those A& hoosiers but it would break them loose right before it lifted.

Surprised they let you run without a helmet in an open car? And I'm with you on it being a wheel stander with slicks. What did it run? Looked like it got out of the hole really well even though it spun.

You run some e in it and it will be even faster. Probably worth another 25-30whp.
