That's an awesome shot. Got love how even with all that weight it can still get off the ground.

Real cars aren't powered by the front wheels, they lift them.

they call the rear tires wrinkle walls! they are designed to do that. However if you notice the bow on the right side, tells me that there is not enough pressure. A very common mistake with drag racers is that they don't run enough tire pressure. I know that the pressure in the tires at this pass was 7psi. I think that we could have safely run 8 to 8.5psi. that would mean less rolling resistance and more E.T. and mph!
