Looking at the top picture, below the passenger front tire, follow the tire print from a previous car. Fred did, right to the wall.  
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

Wow Fred! That looked like a real diaper filler right there!
Nice save! 
*Great pics too!
I think they would've been using the jaws of life to get the seat out of my.....well, you know, if I was in the drivers seat in a car like that.
Great save by the way

From the pics it doesnt look like there is much rubber down..looks like they may have scraped it down.
IMO
For a track that gets national exposure "No Excuses" for a Poor hooking track..

Zmax is an odd track I have raced there twice and traction was good for the Pinks show but at the NMCA race in the heat its was scary at times. One pass my car started to spin at around 900' it was bad enough the rear of the car lifted like in a burnout. They never stopped the race. Some cars did fine others had issues like I did. There is no reason my car should ever spin down track! The track is inconsistant and needs to be run more, there is just no rubber on it its a fresh track every race. 
Not wanting to say anything bad about your 47, but don't you think with the way the back of your car is made it would be prone to lifting from the air getting underneath it at speed. You would benfit by having a rear wing to keep the air from coming underneath the rear of your car.

The car sits much more level than the picture would make you beleave. The roof is very flat as well. I have never had any other isues down track with the car. The engine is very deep in the chassis and it has coilovers at each end with a 51/49 weight bias so she handles real well. Heck it has a 1.40 60' and doesn't lift a tire!

Fred don't you know you can't steer it with the wheels in the air?
