But I seen this video on a racing website that I am a member of and I think you guys might like it. It shows a few Mustangs going down the strip also. The red Mustang at 3:24 you should pay close attention to. It actually slows down to show you what the car did coming up to the finish line. It is an 1/8th mi track so that is why the low numbers.
That was a sweet video. I cant wait for the track near me to open back up. My buddy is going to run his 8000lb Ram 2500 4dr long bed on 35's. We are looking for 13.7's at least.

I wonder what made that red mustang fly up like that, the wheely bar is the only thing that kept him from going over.

Thats cool. cant wait till mine is done to see what it does on the track. I just hope it doesnt do what that one did.

Also I think he was trying to keep the front end down the whole way down the track.

There was a run i think before that where he did. The car seems set up real well.

I think you would be surprised at how much power that they are putting to the ground on such small tires and making them stick without spinning. A lot of those in the video only had 10.5" wide wheels on them and they still launched with the wheels off the ground.

Oh I know. The only reason that one was still on the ground was the wheelie bar. 10.5" tires still give alot of traction especially if you have a quality set and a good suspension.

Oh yeah. One of the forums that I am a member of are always giving each other a hard time between the drag radials and the slicks. It is actually funny reading what they say to each other.
