I do have a question though regarding your picture below. From the angle of the pic(shooting downward) compared to the gap between the lip and the shadow below it, to me it seems like the lip is barely off the ground. Maybe its decieving from the angle?

If you have the tape measure a couple inches away from the lip and point the camera downward, it makes it look as though the lip is actually higher than it really is. Understand?

Can we get a picture with the camera on the ground with the tape measure in front of the lip, that would be the perfect angle.
Wow Should we get a certified engineer to make the three inch measurement?

Congrats on the awesome times and the consistency with the runs

Just an observation I made.

Good luck and hope you keep breaking records.
Are you just trying to start up trouble?

The pictures in post #82 show the lip very well and it looks 3" off the ground. Thank you to the person who made that post and cleared it up for me at least.

The car looks ****!

Unfortunately we only made one pass in the Orange car. First qualifier I bogged the launch bad and ran 10.00@155. 2nd qualifier I broke an axle. It was the original axle that came in the car in when we got it so I think it led a good life.
