Gords Chevelle did take a good hit on "re-entry", as anybody who has seen the video can attest, after the 1/2 shift, the bumper hit the ground, and lifted the rear slicks off the ground, which naturally caused an immediate loss of foreward momentum. In addition to the damaged headers and oil pan, the scattershield flange got bent, the carb dented the hood, and the frame required a bit of a pull to repair. Gords back also took a bit of a beating. He did install wheelie bars after that incedent, but the car didn`t work as well, and front shocks and travel limiters were sufficent to "tame the beast", so the bars came off.
