[VIDEO] Wheels up launch...
Raced at the Corvette Cruise In brackets today.. No new best ET even though my mph were some of the best that I ever ran, and I finally got a wheels up launch on video...
It's not a huge wheelie, but you can clearly see the wheels coming off the ground..

NOt bad, I think you need to put 90/10 front shocks and some rear shocks with stff compression and higher rebound valving on the car. I see the car doing a "pogo" on the launch which can cause problems with your 60ft times. The 1.6X 60FT time isn't too bad of a time to be honest with you. Keep up the faith, I have to work this years for our club's event Vette Magic #30 comming up at Sacramento, CA Drag Strip this next Sunday.

My usual 60' time here in Florida is in the 1.550 range... 1.648 is far from my normal 60' time...
