ET with and without wheelie.

How this got started was a conversion about wasted energy going up and not forward. I was of the thought that given our [stocker] kind of vehicles with a small tire and in some cases a lot of torque that to get the car to move forward the mass has to move to the tires which is a wheelie. Yes in a perfect world there would be just forward motion but given our limitations that just doesn't happen. So given every combo is different a wheelie is needed more or less given the vehicle and track condition. One thing about doing wheelies is that it should hook anywhere and you know it is moving forward.
