At Indy this year i raced a white ford my first pass. And it wasnt until i watched the the video later on my wifes phone that the entire rear end of the truck was bouncing off the ground well past the 60 foot mark. I was dumbfounded. Here is the video.

Holy crap, that is some serious wheel hop. Looked like a low rider doing tricks...LOL

That is Dillon Carter, Brian Carter's son. They were running Cal-Tracs and couldn't get them to work. They went to a long traction bar before the next race weekend, it leaves really good now.

I must have been to far down track to see it. I can't believe he stayed in it the whole time.

I've got a video somewhere of my old Punisher F250 doing that. LOL Front end limiters took care of it for me.

Ya no kidding, my drawers would have been ruined after the first hop.

I have homemade Cal tracks on my truck and obviously it doesn't launch like that

 

[khaoskustoms]

Shawn Ellertons truck was doing the same thing at Mission 2 years ago. Took some adjustments on the Cal Tracs and the truck is launching smoother now.

I can't believe it didn't at least spit out a u-joint.
