Better show tonight then usual - no cars were destroyed! (Although I wonder if Ron could tell us if there was any under-car damage after that final wheel-stand! WOW!!)

Thank you History Channel!!

I missed the beginning last evening but did get to see the last portion. Very cool deal to see on TV (for once).

When I saw Rutledge turn the wheel with the front end up I had a bad feeling about how it was going to land. I had concerns over a rookie driver and how he would handle a car that wheel stands. I think he got lucky. lol

Enjoyed watching the episode, hope no damage was done to the Challenger, both cars run very well. Modern muscle performance is off the charts these days. Was just looking at the records in National Dragster last evening.

I thought the show turned out great.

There was only superficial damage - scrapped header - oh and a front end alignment.

We would do it again but I think the driving school should use more than an air shifted non-wheel standing car. A super gas car does go into the 9s but a car like most of the ones - you guys on here have - can be a handful unexpectedly.

BTW - the weather conditions were off the chart (30.30 baro 47 temp) and that caused the wheels up launch which was four feet higher than ever before or since. We have shock adjustments we can use to prevent the giant wheel stands - if we ever get in that air again. Not likely out here on the west (left) coast.

Ron, only thing missing was Andy, Ron, Kevin,Jeff & John and who knows else having adult beverages and discussing the program. That would have added a new demension to broadcasting. Was that what we discussed?
