Here is a slow motion video of my wife's 1968 Barracuda launching.

It was running 7.06 at 96.5mph this weekend with 1.52 60' times, I had one that was 1.50 but most were 1.52.

Does it look ok to you guys?

Fast forward to 1:15 to see the launch.

did you notice how much the left front wheel toes-in when the front end lifts?

yep, I think to fix that you have to heat and bend the stock upper control arm or buy some tubular upper control arms (i think)

anyone else have any comments?

She cut a nice light as the bottom yellow was still flickering as her tires started moving, yet no red. I am always amazed at how much the rear springs deflect as the rear end reacts to the tires rotating. That front wheel wiggle would worry me but my fish may have been worse and it drove straight as can be. Similar times BTW.
