Well that sure looks like fun. Good way to polish the exhaust tips if you had them.

Awsom to look at but I wouldn't want to drive it. We have a few guys at our local track that does that when the track is just right. Any more than a foot and I'd be turning it down a bit. My old tube chassis Grand Am would do 3 fters if I left against the converter. Didn't do that much. They really don't land hard if ya don't take your foot out of it when it's up there. I couldn't even feel the landing in my old car, but I don't like looking at the sky going down the track. That's for the youngins.
