It actually pulled the left front off the ground, man what a feeling. It was just a few inches but to feel the thing spring to life and then bounce when it hit the ground, damn it was awesome! The track photographer got a couple of really good shots, I'll have to try and scan them or something.

I'm not sure. There is a oval right down the street from me but I don't know if it's dirt. What was the name and where was it at?

How much air are you running in the Hooosier drag radials? It looks like they are maybe a little too soft. When I had them on they wouldn't wrinkle quite that much pulling 1.50 sixties at 21-22 psi.

Only 16.5-17 after the burnout. After hotlapping three passes the pressure went up to 20 and it ended up cutting 1.68-70 sixties. All other variables (launch RPM, lane choice, staging procedure) being the same, as well as my split times and mph, it led me to believe that I needed less.

I could be wrong though, this was my first outing with these wheels and tires.
