Had some issues at ATCO on sunday..

[JSPERFORMANCE]

38* air temp and the track was hooking hard.... a little too hard...

[JSPERFORMANCE]

keeps going ... and this was the little wheelie....

[JSPERFORMANCE]

This is the beginning of the bad wheelie.. car hit the bumper and came down hard.. Headers, oil pna, starter, exhaust, front struts, and I was messed up a little too. Shame, I qualified third and this happened in first round..

[JSPERFORMANCE]

nice shot fron the back!

[johnjzjz]

atco will do that too you in the fall - 400 feet below sea level and they do a real nice job on the track always -- its the fastest track in the country for #s in the fall -- we had one of the cars actually bend the nose part of the frame up and out, a 1/4 inch some years back doing just that - the car had stopped repeating lazer alignment machine found it, - jz

[JSPERFORMANCE]

once the car is back together it is going back to the rack and if everything is ok it will be re-aligned.

[Kat]

Almost on tbe bumper!

[JSPERFORMANCE]

on that run it kissed the bumper. First round it hit it and unloaded the tires which slammed the car back down and back up into another wheelstand.. If you were wondering, I DONT LIFT.

[BonzoHansen]

Zoinks!

AHHHH!!! :shock: Thats serious! You got some nice pix out of it.

[SteveR]

Wow! You're ready for that annual wheel-standing contest :lol:

DELETED

[JL8Jeff]

I remember when George Baxter did that with his 97 30th SS conv and blew out the right front tire and went straight at the wall! He also destroyed his headers and oil pan. Good thing your tires held up. And clean that undercarriage if we're gonna be looking at it! :lol:

[JSPERFORMANCE]

et street

[JSPERFORMANCE]

sorry about the dirt I havent had time to clean it lately when I have a little spare time from the shop I am too busy driving it and the roads arent all that nice around here...

Welcome to the club Josh. I'm still finding stuff I wrecked this season. The marks on the rear bumper make it all worth while though.:-P

[JSPERFORMANCE]

I guess youre right but I am not sure if the pain is worth it.. my back is still stiff as hell.

[vegaken]

Josh you had the car hooking hard to on that day. It was good to meet you there. I was in the camaro in front of you doing the same thing. That is when Mark asked you if you were going to stand it up like I did. Yup you did the same thing. I was number 7 in qualifying and ended up with top mph in qualifying at 140.42mph. That car was working. Don't feel bad I smacked another oil pan up and hit the bellhousing also. Field was tight with all those cars running a 10.0 something in the front half.

[SpeedMetalT/A]

I went to raceway park on last wed. and know one could hook. Everyone spun their tires real bad on their launch some even spun way down the track.Maybe I'll try atco next time.

Etown blows.

[firebirdcrazy]

Hey this weekend racing at the pontiac show and go in Atco. Will it be time trials? or heads up racing?

[IROCdan330]

dont forget the tooth Josh!

youre my idol!

[Slow 88]

Very nice shots! Sorry to hear about the carnage..

[JSPERFORMANCE]

Ken, I thought that was you but I wasnt sure.. Yeah I guess its the curse of the black third gens... It will be back together before christmas.. theres money to be made with this car this year still.

[NJSPEEDER]

call me when you start working on it man. i am only 5 mins away mon - fri, i wil jsut come over after work and we will get it straightened out.

[maroman88]

I guess youre right but I am not sure if the pain is worth it.. my back is still stiff as hell.

ya know, i never thought about the landing part of a sweet wheelie! lol looks like we got some sweet 3rd gens in this thread :)

[JSPERFORMANCE]

call me when you start working on it man. i am only 5 mins away mon - fri, i wil jsut come over after work and we will get it straightened out.

Yep we need more "I guess this should do something" decisions! Besides the alignment it is only about a days worth of work, just alot of parts...

[Kat]

its not that many parts! ;)

[vegaken]

Josh, Atco had that starting line prepped pretty good. That left lane was by far the better lane. I am hoping it is not a curse of the black third gens. :lol: That is the second time in that lane that it has cost me an oil pan.:-? Hopefully I can stop killing oil pans or I need to get Moroso to sponsor me and get some free ones. Next year will be fun running the 10.0 index. I am going to redo the engine this winter and try to hit some of the Ram Racing 9.50 index stuff next year also. Now that I got the car to hook it will be a matter of getting some more power. Bammann will make that happen no sweat.

You guys make me proud!!:mrgreen:
