it's not for those that don't adjust their wheelie for changing weather throughout the day as I do. My car breaks the beam exactly at the same location EVERY pass, evident by not only photos and videos but the time slip that shows a few thousands variance in 60 foot over the entire event!

That said,

how many replying here have the car that can no mind have done an A-B-A with their car on the same day, letting it fly, breaking the 60 foot beam with the back tire then tie down the front, shock extension on full tight, travel limiter set for the minimum tire drop an make a pass with no more than a few inches of day light under the front tires?

We know Stan hasn't as well most others replying here!

I have, but you called me clueless . I'm not saying your car or my car is the right or wrong way just showing different sides of my real world experiences. And that every car is not the same. My timeslips prove in my situation my car does not slow down, it runs about the same et big wheelie or little wheelie . Now my car tied down is way slower to the 60' for some reason.

I have also caught something like the front bumper before or the deflector etc. from a bounce , and have had a faster 60 foot and a slower 330' just different examples 60' can change and car still run same number because where the 60 foot is catching the car like explained above.

Post your A-B-A time slips from the same day where you have done what I stated. I'd also like to see a photo of your shocks and limiter

I know your mission is to get clicks on the site for the boss but just give up on this and go to another thread.


60 foot times means nothing to a stock suspension when you do big wheelies,330 does

I don't have nor done the A-B-A same day test. Seeing you are so passionate on the subject. Share your A-B-A time slips from the same day.

I posted my experiences earlier. And have talked about it. I honestly am done here. If I ever see you at the track you are more than welcome to look at all my data and car anytime .

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.
