Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

I knew I saved the slips from the first day it carried fronts passed. I’m an adrenaline junkie and if the car likes carrying em that far it’s ok with me. The first time my super stock buddy came to see it leaving this way he said you need to tie the front down I tried it and it killed the sixty. If it had all the best suspension might be a different results but for my low buck operation this is what works best.

I’ve meet a few other people in my day that were never wrong but on certain days they’d at least tell you that they have never been wrong, but they might’ve been mistaken a time or two but not this guy. I’m not a cactus expert, but I know a prick when I run across one.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

is that all you've got, name calling? Now what part of the TRUTH and the FACTS don't you like.:p

Oh and your time slip is unreadable and you didn't provide photos of your shocks and limiters.:p

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Lets see how many others click on em and can’t read em you must be older than I thought.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

one is unreadable and still no photos

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

I’ve said what my setup is in a previous post other than that it has no limiters. Your’e like gum on your shoe when you think it’s gone ya check and it’s still there but you have wasted enough space on this subject so i’m done.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Some people don't want to debate or discuss, they just to bully everybody.


I didn't think it will matter, but this should be readable.

Another, that can?t provide indisputable proof of his claims, no surprise!

This says it all to just how little you know, nuff said

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Thank you

And to know it all 1320 I never said that I know it all. Your arms have to be deformed by now from all the patting yourself on the back.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Going back to the first question of this post,if wheelies helped or hurt ET's,,Linda and I have definitely done testing for both and in our setup,69 Camaro 350 255hp in G/SA, the results were very impressive. Many might disagree but we found that our multi leaf rear suspension with slapper bars were just as good if not better than the modern day setup that so many run now. Also we found you need a really good front shock and springs to control the lift and landing. We also found a clamp on wheelie bar works great with the setup we have.
Overall,,Linda and I found,with all our computer data,that to much of a wheelie,,bumper scaping,affects et and no wheelie affects our ET and,,low horsepower and lots of horsepower affects ET plus wheel stands. One thing Linda and I know is Alan Rhinehart and Joe Castillo sure do like Stock Eliminator and wheel standing cars.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

And, me!

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Alan Rhinehart likes my Firebird too;)

Ed,
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

I can back up everything I post! ;)

Ed,
You have an innate ability to suppress ones ability to enjoy the subject matter of this forum. Therefore you truly posses the gift of being an ***.
Frank

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

You mean other than you will run a slower ET if you click the 60’ timers with anything behind the front tires?

Terry

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Outlaw, thanks for your contributions to this thread. :)

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

You’re welcome and sorry everyone for all the post. Well except for that one guy!

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

You are right & the time slip was readable.

Discussion(s) is the key word.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Maybe so but I’ve been visiting this site for many years because I’m a big fan of stock and super stock and one of my closest friends was along time super stocker. I try not to post very much because my car is not one. You have an opinion on every subject and I have one also if you would stop typing so much and do more reading you will get a lot closer to the know it all you think you are. I have been around race cars a long time and I have seen people post their latest track accomplishments and I and most others here know how impressive it is but within a couple of post our resident expert will tell how unimpressive it is but how great he is. Unlike our resident expert I am going back to not typing and back to learning. Sorry for the rant to who started the original post and thanks to everyone else who I did learn something from during it.

your rant is fueled by your bruised ego and jealousy.

WRONG, there are many topics in this forum, on this page alone that I have not replied, 16 of 19 topics to be exact to but those that I do, I have decades of on track1st hand experience and knowledge not opinion!

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Wrong!
You didn’t prove me wrong but you are on the behind the front tire sixty. I didn’t say you didn’t know things you should be happy I said you know it all. Unlike you I’ll say things that will make ya want to spit afterwards but your ex worlds greatest chevelle and the Pontiac you are the cheerleader for are great cars .good day everyone.
Terry

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

continuation of your rant fueled by your bruised ego, inadequacies and jealousy.:p

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

You say your car is ex super stocker and mine has been a race car since new and is a ex AHRA stocker still has all the interior like a stocker but by the time I bought it was no class so I knew we were a perfect match. I’m not the smartest person but I think I have become somewhat of a mind reader since this post started and I think everyone except you wish the two with no class ……..Cars would shut up.
Terry

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

wishes and hope is not a strategy :p

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Outlaw,

Do you have any pictures or videos of your wheels stands you can post or PM. The one in your avatar looks pretty good.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Dang it I had already told myself, self do not reply to anything else on this subject. I appreciate the request but I can’t figure out how to send pics through a pm. Besides everyone else reading this are screaming please no do get this started again. I’m sure no one else wants to see pics of a bracket car and it would only fire my number one fan backup and he has no kill switch.
Terry

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Here's a mild wheelie of our bracket car in Tuscon, AZ at their Hangover Nationals race.

This track is at a higher elevation than ours at 3000'+ & I wasn't expecting the back tires to be tripping the 60' timers.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

No one here cares about your cutup shytbox bracket car!

Nor outlaw's shybox which has been parked for years!

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Or yours!

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Hardly a cutup shytbox and better than any car you've ever owned and raced!

My Firebird was the best F Body Super Stock car that came out of MPR and that statement came directly from Mike!

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

I can agree with your first statement and that is my choice.

It takes a real A-hole to hack up "the best F Body Super Stock car that came out of MPR" and turn it into a "cutup shytbox bracket car"! You're obviously very proud.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Billy, stop with the immature, jealousy filled rants, driven by hate, even you who builds "dime rocket" shytboxes knows my Firebird is a very nice, well engineered, top shelf super stock car whose on track performance now as a bracket and Super Street car is very impressive.

If you still refuse to acknowledge the TRUTH and the FACTS, that's your problem but several of this forum's most active members have acknowledged just that including some that rarely if ever agree with anything I post and at least 1 stated that I took a great car and made it better!

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

I am heading to Sunday Mass in a few minutes. It is a beautiful day here in the Derby City. My high school classmate Good Ole Captain Jack set the U/SA National record at Indy yesterday. . I am asking everyone that is following this thread if they believe that 1320 racer Is the biggest Azz Hole on CR to give me a Hell Yeah !!! Nuff said !!

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

another who doesn't reply to the OP rather posts just to engage me, who too is driven by jealousy and hate BUT loves my car and looks to learn from it as to how to make his better. Nuff said. :D

The hypocrisy of some here is comical!:D

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Only in your own mind is what you have posted "TRUTH and the FACTS". For the rest of us it has been comic relief. :D

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Says the guy who doesn’t race and doesn’t have a race car no mind one capable of wheeling with the back tires. Mr. Desk Top Dyno! Too funny:D

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Just B.S. and immature innuendos.
Your Firebird is NOT a Superstock car anymore. It is just a cutup shyte box bracket car.
