    I can pick the front tires up on my sportbike but in a car I might be a little nervous. Killer sound too.

    Ain't nothing to it. You really don't even know the fronts are up...until they come down. Aint that right Rick?


    Guy in the vid shifted to neutral after crossing the line....that's a no-no in my book. Yeah, it might be a lil' easier on the motor, but you have to ask yourself, would you rather try to save the motor or would you rather end up on your top at 140+ ??

    Yup...too busy keepin the wheel straight and the pedal matted..I feel safer doin it in a car than on a bike, Todd is dead on...I don't touch my shifter after burnout until I get back to the pits, I figure if I didn't hurt it during the run I'm sure not gonna hurt it easing back to the pits.
    It's a great pass though...I gotta figure a way to strap my camera in the car.
