I know him that's Fred. Super nice guy. Him and his son were there running B/SA. I was there when he did that. His bars bend alot when the front end went up. They also have springs that make the bars more forgiving and bend like you see here.
My bars don't have springs and are very stiff but adjustable. I couldn't raise them high enough so the tires unloaded and started to spin on the lauch. On that pass Fred lifted and tore alot of stuff up. Like I always say don't lift in first gear. Funny thing is hours befroe that pass we talked about not lifting. It's a whole lot different when your in the car.
