Wow....I dig a hairy ride, but the other pics well, I put a box of diapers and a roll of tp on the dash of the TR7 when it was together, I think I might have actually needed them on that launch. Then again if I can get the chally to launch that hard Ill be in heaven.....
Something changed somewhere. Simple, I dont know enough about chassis setup on a drag car but my dad always said, "Something Changed Somewhere" the trick is to find it, 9 times out of 10 for me its the thing I was sure hadnt. Breakage bent, even on something I just checked and voila......
There is an OLD trick used on bikes (yeah yeah) but frames with low torsional rigidity like the Kaw triples and Suzy trips we used a scribe mounted to a bolt touching a pad (usually a rearset plate) Not as fancy as electronic thingies but it works....maybe one on the rear housing 1 on the chassis ? see where the flex is occuring. Ive seen 2-3 inches of flex on a bike frame of a kaw triple, hence the nickname "Widowmakers" but you were good before, now youre not something changed right ? Grab a coulple nuts and weld on a scribe at a 90 deg angle and bend it so it touches a suface somewhere itll leave a mark behind.....?
Just guessing out loud here.....wow.......that looks like it would be fun to keep straight....
