Arrow How about a "WHEELIE" demontration at M-8??

MAYBE 3 classes:

1) Foot Brake
2) Trans Brake
3) Shift cars

This would DEMAND one lane being prepped to the MAX with VHT and ROSIN. ANY INTEREST? Just something to fill in the lulls and thrill the crowd. DOT and SLICK tired cars ONLY!!

The only way you're pulling a wheelie Patrick is if they setup some sort of ramp you can hit at the 1/8th and get the front end to come up

And the only way you will break 12s is if I pull you by ropes tied to my car!

It's unfortunate that Hink has to start a post to ask for wheelies. Maybe because he's never done one and wants to see how. Here's a taste test:

Please, don't ever use Hink and Yank in the same sentence please.

Doh, dammit I couldn't figure out how to say that without violating the rule myself!

Also, there are a few of us that might be making our NHRA license passes that day in preparation for the Thunder Shootout. I would be willing to spring some extra cash to have the track prepped a little "extra" for the runs. Anyone else need to make license passes?

I'm so glad you know how my car leaves now on a 150 shot. I have only done ONE mild run on the 150 and I didn't see you at Milan when I made it! Wish you'd have come up and said hi.

NO... I can't jerk the tires like you or Tanner or anyone else that has 3 times the money in their engine than I. BUT... lets see what it can do at M-8 before you slap me and the car down, huh?

Oh... by the way... the little clip I sent you was on a 50 shot, add another 100 to that! Hmmm...!

Kevin (you jerk)!

It's so easy to get Hink spun up. It's like he has A.D.D. and Tirets (sp?) syndrome all wrapped into one.

And I have to drive down to M8 with these two (Patrick and Sean)

I was hoping to try a wheels up launch off of my transbrake, but with a stock 10-bolt, I'm not going to try unless we can figure a way to tow the car to Stanton.
