Guess I shoulda continued my "train" of observations/thoughts a little more on the shorten your burnouts.Barb, your observations are dead on the money. I will go into it more tomorrow if I can get the time. Comments/observations are always welcome.Randy, just a couple of observations.
1. Shorten your burnouts. I know you want to impress the crowds but you're only hurting yourself. Too much heat makes more power. You're also using up too much fuel and therefore losing the weight in the front end.
2. It looks like you had your hands full (understatement) and getting on and off the throttle a few times. Sometimes doing that will load the motor and kaboom.
You know I love you to death and am only trying to give you some sound advice.

Using so much fuel on the burnout and losing weight on the front end will make the car hit the wheeliebar harder and therefore unload the chassis. This could be part of the reason for getting out there and hazing/smoking the tires. You want to lift the left front tire, while the right tire is just skimming the track surface. It don't do no good when the you're bouncin all the tires off the ground.
(new nickname: Bouncin Rapid .. oh never mind )One other thing to remember, if you make a sudden move or hit the shift button harder, you can be unloading the chassis without realizing it. Just another reason to be buckled in as tight as possible.
