cool camaro. i hope you installed a wheelie bar after that! dont want no-one getting hurt. but mad footage

[heavenhellracing]

@catatafish100 - this wheelie was very safe, and it actually helps my car get good traction (as it's relatively heavy).

However in June this year a strong head wind caught the underside and pushed the car up beyond what's good... and stood the car on the bumper. That was NOT good, including breaking bell housing and other bits coming down. And yes, I fitted a wheelie bar after that, to control the maximum height and avoid damage. But I don't like it... :o(

are the front wheels a little bit braking when they touch the ground?

[heavenhellracing]

@hielkekemperman: not sure what you mean? Do you mean you think the front brakes might be binding? In that case, no, they're not, the discs are free with no binding.

If you mean was I braking at landing, well, no, wouldn't dream of it. But I'm puzzled, why do you think the front wheels are "braking"?

[44werewolfnomore]

@heavenhellracing he thinks the brakes are binding because the front wheels barely move when you took off

[heavenhellracing]

@44werewolfnomore - I see, however they normally don't move much if I get good traction, as they go up straight away.

[stoo1974]

how much hp does your Camaro have to lift the wheels like that? say high to Dave for me. (worked with him at gowerings)

[heavenhellracing]

@stoo1974: it makes about 620HP, 530 lbs torque

[heavenhellracing]

[heavenhellracing]

He was taking the tyre temperature from both cars - mine and Rick's.
