Is my left tire off the ground?
Guys go to www.davemilcarek.com & look at the Atco thumbnails. Picture 2-15-R1 065.jpg

I think there is light under the left front tire, if so I'm buying the pic, Fred

I don't know. It's possible but it looks like an optical illusion. Now if you can get them both off the ground then there's no question.

I agree it maybe an optical illusion but it might not.

I would get the pic anyway, optical illusion or not it still looks like it is off the ground.

i'd say with the front end extension and the way the shadow is,you have the wheel off the ground.

Agreed.. it's not off the ground.. what you're seeing is a "slick" portion reflecting... but it's still a good pic none the less

im with you. if it was still on the ground the "slick portion on the track" would not be seen cause the tire/wheel would have a shadow there.(if that made any sense)
it looks up to me

Definitely off the ground. That's why there's a break in the shadow around the tire.
