Looks like 3 attempts at putting foot into it, each time one wheel hooked and it pulled. Obviously that run was futile.

Yes. I had cradle move in Texas after a wheels up pass wanted to see if that was the case. That’s way it was a 13 sec at 85

This was the pass before that, even trying to peddle it still tried aiming at the wall. so I lifted. Took adding 140 lbs and pulling power on the launch to go A-B yesterday sadly.

My biggest fear at the strip. Things can happen real quick and unexpectedly.

The wife said to me when we were at Drag Week that I should get a different car if I'm going to go racing again so I can hit the wall and not worry about it. Just like the cars at Drag Week.

I told her that concrete walls are hard no matter what you're driving.

Maybe she's trying to dispose of me?

Exactly, having a car you don’t care as much about scratching/denteing/ cutting holes in because it’s a race only car is a different ballgame
