Mattw took a great shot of my launch from the starting line.
He thought my driver side front was off the ground a little.

I lost a lot of my pictures when Eric's server crashed.
I'll look later tonight and see If I saved any from that meet.
That was a great time that weekend.

! I knew that A LOT of stuff went *poof* when Eric lost the server, I was hoping that someone out there had it saved on their machine. I have TONS of pics on mine that I have saved over the years of other trucks but not that one...

Man, I know it didn't but I coulda swore a guy could slip a couple sheets of paper under the front tires when I launched it.

Here's a pic of my old 1g Eclipse that I miss. Almost looks like some daylight under the front tires (ok, not quite but still a pretty cool pic):

I had the track photographer at Infineon tell me I was turning all 4 at launch. I have the photo, no smoke, so it's hard to tell. With my mods I kinda doubt it. Truck does pick the front nicely but not off the ground.

When was that picture taken? That's a little more chassis flex than I thought Ed had in the truck...
