Dam... you know I wanted to say yes!!! But, to me it looks like just a hint of a contact patch there. The side tread shows a very small flat spot. Sorry, I don't think so.

Well if you look closely you can see that there is no light under the tire. what you see is shiny pavement next to the tire and there is a flat spot there that shows its still touchin. But im sure that if there was about 40 quick shots there might have been a moment when both were off the ground. That still rocks with just the 1 in the air because I sure cant do that.

I went with yes, but I wouldn't want to try and get my fingers between the tire and the track

Wouldn't both front wheels be at the same height?

no because of the engine torque, the left side lifts first. Then if you're really a bad mother both go up. I think George is right and both wheels are up, slightly.

I had the rear swaybar removed due to interference with the Bogart wheels. The rear swaybar is back on. I had a friend at work make a new pair of mounts for it. I would have made them myself but a big cheese eating rat turned me in at work for using the machines to make my own parts.

Looks pretty clear to me that the right tire has contact with the ground as it is flat at the very bottom and not round.

Sorry, no. The right tire has a very slight bulge where it's pressed against the ground and you can see that the right front suspension isn't as extended as the left front suspension. Pretty awesome though... that's gotta be a rush!

Its still on the ground but its still has to be cool to feel the front end lift even that much.

I think it looks GREAT either way. Nice pic man, I'd get that one on the wall at the house! Get an 8X10 and frame from Walmart and put that up in the "I love me" room.

Nice job, and yes, I think it's off the ground.
