indulge my ignorance: why aren't you using wheelie bars? i'm genuinely curious

because supras aren't supposed to wheelie

nice driving again Dave and congrats on the numbers.

At least it wheels up without darting one way or the other. Nice n straight. Great passes Dave.

That's because Supras are MAN cars. Unlike those buttstangs that love to jerk it left or right.

Awesome passes Dave! And there's no such thing as "too much wheelie".

[SPANISH-RICE]

damn that high, wheelie bars?

[probe this]

Congrats Dave you have almost caught up to matt. A few more wheelies and you might get him.

[b almer]

did you expect it to wheelie or did you have an idea it might

[DaveH]

I didn't expect it to wheelie much, the previous 2 passes were in the 8.60's and the front end was just up a foot or so. we though we had the wheelie problem figured out, I guess it showed us.

[musthavemuzk]

soooo if i show this weekend will i get to see wheelies again?

Monty

[fallguy]

If all goes good hopefully not!!! We checked out the Muscle Car Shootout in Brainerd this last Saturday and all the fast cars had their tires about a foot off the ground or less. The ones that were going sub 8.50's. If we can't get it to be tame with suspension adjustments than a wheelie bar is a must.

[63vette]

At 8.50 a wheelie bar is a must, if nothing else as a safety device.
Your both going down next year.

Big talk from a guy who's starting on a completely different car. Bring it on!

[63vette]

I think I am going to keep the vette and build the Camaro.

[musthavemuzk]

either way i hope to be there on sat.

so is this vette something i have seen at the track?

Monty

[63vette]

Only if you are just watching the first 200 feet. Its about as far down the track I can make it. It would be low 8s or very high 7s with Dave driving.

Its the car behind the scooter.

....i...don't see any...cars..
