    Looks like the take off was good, but what about the landing? Do the words "WHEELIE BARS" come to mind?

    I had little time to be scared !

    I've had it up pretty high before , and as usual I'd just shift second gear and it comes down , but when I did this time it just kept going up !

    I realized I had to lift , and did , but soon as it started to come down I nailed it knowing if If I didn't it would result in some pretty major damage

    I was realy suprised to see the back wheels off the ground in the photo , because there so little damage to the car other than the flattening the bottom of the header tubes , a bent licence plate and a scape on the bottom of the rear valance

    We could have easily fixed it at the track ,but there was no way I wanted do that again and risk wrecking the car :eek: never mind the fact it was sunday and I had no clean underwear left in the motorhome !!!!!!

    There are no wheely bars alowed in this class so I'm planning to take out the 2.40 first gear set and put in a 2.18 for next race !
