I wish more people would follow this logic. I couldn't even begin to count how many times I've gotten out of the throttle during a pass...... just this year

I would thing things could go wrong in a hurry in your car. Pretty quick and pretty short.

I may be wrong but wasn't that a two-step button he hits on the steering wheel? I thought per NHRA all two-step buttons had to be on the brake pedal?

Here is the video of my car going up way to high , I got out of it but I still did over 10k in damage to the car . I did as several other have stated "got out of it " when there was only blue sky. Johnny you got to lift and not turn that wheel

x2 on the 2 step button

I watched your video from the Dutch and cringed as you came down. At least your view of the sky was gradual. This guy from Cecil seemed to explode off the starting line with more acceleration than I would think is possible. I have one of the 2012 4.0 cars and after seeing this crash, I may have to revise my plans. I have been working up to these power levels with my slower car but something like that happening might make me put on the Depends before I run the car at wide open throttle. So far I have kept the throttle max 45 degrees at wide open and that was pretty fast. You guys have balls.

Wheelie bars?

I forgot to add that my dumb ***** is installing them now. They would have saved me . Hoover I got out in time before it went higher . We had just installed the 2014 front end bushing in that car . It had never been in the air like that untill they were installed . Ford is refining these cars and the new ones should be taken very seriously when you get behind the wheel of one . They are the real deal

That's why there is a knob on top of the front strut. Right is tight!
