Don't know if it's wrong but when my front touch's down the steering wheel shimmy's in your hand a little, guess it's bump steer. Sometimes I've got to shift for 2'nd gear with the wheels still up, thats when I know it's a good one. 60ft times improved a little with the wheelstands but I think this is a characteristic of Caltracs. Never broke the 60ft beams with the rears but thats on the list  Feels a bit like being on a see-saw, rise and touch down feels gentle. Here's a link to a nice succession of pictures from a typical 'stand http://www.topnitro.co.uk/08-OpenSports/Gallery/html/RS0046320.htmhope ya like it

15 minutes? More like 15 years of fame, Fred. That wheelie is right up there (pun intended) with McCandless' Demon shot.

i thought the motto for wheelstands was, "when the wheels are in the air, select another gear"
So true. I can still hear my oil pan screaming, knowing an asphalt encounter is on the way, when I shift from 1-2 on the way up.
