BADASS man!!!!! A wheel-e-bar should get you a few tenths! Welcome to the drag racing section, feel free to stop by anytime! I would love to see some under hood pics and some specs on the car.

Right on, another un tubbed old skule in the drag forum. Very nice launch. So what happened on the rest of that run? Did you let off and change your shorts?

brings back memories of my Rx3 back in the day.....when i hooked up like that...

here is a tip.......if your car goes straight just keep your foot down,had bad experiences
letting off the throttle in mid air,lots of broken parts.

Here or some of my old videos from launching,

C'mon Rene, you have to use a v8 as a demo.
Nothing beats this run. The full 1/4mile with the wheels in the air with a 3rotor in an RX3. You just can't top that combo and run. Just can't.
