Notice the way the car leaves ..
No big wheelie ..slight wheel pick up on drivers side

So, the chassis experts chime in .. what do you think

CAR IS TWISTING ?

I dont think its twisting, if you notice the RR is
squatting about the same as the LF moves up.... its
the torque rolling it..... JMO

I think you are all missing A KEY ELEMENT. If you had the money to waste on a SS/AH car making it leave with the wheels down is SIMPLE.

That's kinda what I meant........That's the whole
point for me to watch the Super Stock Hemi cars.

They have a whole class to themselves now. I just
think of them as an Exhibition Class, since the
Chevrolet guys probably cried to NHRA because they
couldn't run with them. So, they just kicked them
out of SS/AA.

ACtually, the Hemi guys cried because they were going to let Chevys and Fords into SS/A and SS/AA which had always been the land of the Hemi. There are a couple fast Chevys in AA now, but they are still light years behind Westcott.

Since the Hemi Shootout was open to A and B cars Chrysler would have had to let the other makes run the Hemi Shootout too. Just couldn't take the chance on a Vette winning that either.

Im not so sure its that simple. We find it easier to go wheeels up than trying to keep them down.
A few adjustments/changes the cars sky high for well over 60 feet. But when we try to keep the front down the car doesnt transfer weight properly, the tires break loose thus ending in inconsistant et's. Even though the car ran its best ever in the last two weeks by keeping the front end down were still breaking the rear tires loose which was never a problem before.
Now were changing launch chips again, making chassis adjustments between runs...its like starting all over. But thats what test n tune is all about.

As far as Bucky's run...he could be testing as well even though it was an elimination race.
Its really hard to tell from the vid, without being able to zoom & slow the vid down and you cant see his wheelie bars etc. He ran an 8.58 or something like that ?? If he can hook, keep the front end down he's won half the battle.
Wow awesome car...always has been!!
