Hey Mr. Billy,
Post a pic of that thing. Post one of the ones you sent to me. It was really far out for it's time in history. Also I don't remebr exactly which years it set the C/A Records. I know it was way before the Super/Stock wars.

If you will look deepr into that last post of mine and see if in your opinion my theory about the constant rising center of gravity as the car goes higher and higher as it goes down track is making any sense to you.

Some of these Nitrous and Turbo cars continue to climb the further down track they go. I know of drivers while they are in the air tapping their foot on the brakes in attempts to bring the front down but still stay on the pedal becuase they still are trying to win a race.

This seems to happen more in the radial tire cars that have to dead hook to launch. It also does happen with a few of the Outlaw 10.5 cars too though. It gets to a point like almost the front weighs nothing until it comes down again.

Care to comment?
