wheelie gone bad

my friend kieth was testing at byron when the car launched violently... his car will be down for some time...

what happened is that the car went so high it got all four wheels off the ground... then it started going over sideways so he got off the gas and the car slamed down....

Dont know why , but #3 looks a lil bit painful

if you look at the third set, middle pic, you'll see that his drivers side frame is on the ground...

It's obvious that car hit hard, the driver had to have felt it hard too. I wonder what's bent and the extent of the damages.

wow that had to hurt!! hows your friend??

I'm thinking the car is bent?

great set of action pics!!!!!

Awesome pix. Gotta suck that the driver knows that he's coming back down HARD.

he's taking it to a frame shop... the firewall and floorboard are bent.. if you look in the last pics, there is stuff hitting the ground... that's the fann blades... he also cracked part of the block where the motor plate bolts up... he can't mount the crank trigger because of this... he still has to disassemble the rest of the car to know the extent of the dammage... he is ok though, and that is the important thing... the car can be rebuilt...

and also what's funny is, his car is set up like mine, but he has a small block with conventional heads on spray and i have a big block on spray... now i'm affraid to spray my car...

wait for the spray
