Had some issues at ATCO on sunday..
 
38* air temp and the track was hooking hard.... a little too hard...

JSPERFORMANCE 11-15-2007 07:21 AM

keeps going ... and this was the little wheelie....

JSPERFORMANCE 11-15-2007 07:23 AM

This is the beginning of the bad wheelie.. car hit the bumper and came down hard.. Headers, oil pna, starter, exhaust, front struts, and I was messed up a little too. Shame, I qualified third and this happened in first round..

JSPERFORMANCE 11-15-2007 07:24 AM

nice shot fron the back!

johnjzjz 11-15-2007 07:46 AM

atco will do that too you in the fall - 400 feet below sea level and they do a real nice job on the track always -- its the fastest track in the country for #s in the fall -- we had one of the cars actually bend the nose part of the frame up and out, a 1/4 inch some years back doing just that - the car had stopped repeating lazer alignment machine found it, - jz

once the car is back together it is going back to the rack and if everything is ok it will be re-aligned.

Almost on tbe bumper!

JSPERFORMANCE 11-15-2007 08:03 AM

on that run it kissed the bumper. First round it hit it and unloaded the tires which slammed the car back down and back up into another wheelstand.. If you were wondering, I DONT LIFT.

SteveR 11-15-2007 08:35 AM

DELETED

JL8Jeff 11-15-2007 08:42 AM

I remember when George Baxter did that with his 97 30th SS conv and blew out the right front tire and went straight at the wall! He also destroyed his headers and oil pan. Good thing your tires held up. And clean that undercarriage if we're gonna be looking at it! :lol:

JSPERFORMANCE 11-15-2007 08:42 AM

et street

JSPERFORMANCE 11-15-2007 08:43 AM

sorry about the dirt I havent had time to clean it lately when I have a little spare time from the shop I am too busy driving it and the roads arent all that nice around here...

Welcome to the club Josh. I'm still finding stuff I wrecked this season. The marks on the rear bumper make it all worth while though.:-P

JSPERFORMANCE 11-15-2007 08:48 AM

I guess youre right but I am not sure if the pain is worth it.. my back is still stiff as hell.

vegaken 11-15-2007 08:51 AM

Josh you had the car hooking hard to on that day. It was good to meet you there. I was in the camaro in front of you doing the same thing. That is when Mark asked you if you were going to stand it up like I did. Yup you did the same thing. I was number 7 in qualifying and ended up with top mph in qualifying at 140.42mph. That car was working. Don't feel bad I smacked another oil pan up and hit the bellhousing also. Field was tight with all those cars running a 10.0 something in the front half.

SpeedMetalT/A 11-15-2007 09:28 AM

I went to raceway park on last wed. and know one could hook. Everyone spun their tires real bad on their launch some even spun way down the track.Maybe I'll try atco next time.
