This weekend me and my dad took out our new dragster (a 2004 undercover, never seen the track before). We have only had 1 dragster before this even though we have many door cars and it was a 4-link car. This being a slip joint we didn't know where to set the rear tire pressure so we went with 8psi. Bad idea. The thing shook worse than any t/a car ive ever seen. I got a couple decent shots of it so i thought id post them. Just look at the rear tire. You can even see the driver (not my dad) getting unloaded by it in his different posistion between pic1 and pic2

If any one wants to know we only ran it to half track all weekend and lifted and let it coast through and its best time was an 8.52 at 112...it was doing 146 at the 1/8th. We are hoping for 7.50's at about 185 1/4 times.

Been there in a car that went 8.50's. How bad was his head feeling after that?
