    Didn't do so good last weekend in Vegas. First pass did a massive wheelie and broke my steering, oil pan and maybe other stuff. Sucks cause I could have done well I think. Heres the pics. Oh, and wheelie bars are not allowed in the class.

    Wow, the right rear came off the ground. Wonder why the exhaust came loose: Like to see the shots from the photographer behind the starter.

    So much powah that the exhaust pulled out of the clamp. I drove down the track and went almost 100mph to the 1/8 with the exhaust hanging out the side. :cry: Went to pull over in case there was an oil leak or something and the steering wouldn't turn and I was heading towards the wall, but I was able to stop it just at the finish line 1/4 mile. It made for a few good pics, but I don't ever want to do that again.
