What would it take to carry the front wheels to the 60' beams?

Just for my own education, and not because I think carry the fronts would kick ***, (which I think it totally does), wouldn't the car be faster spending the energy moving forward instead of lifting the front off the ground?

Don't know for sure. I've heard both ways can be faster, guess it really depends on each individual car and what they like.

I have watched Ron Silva do this in both his old cars a Valiant and Demon. They were both just really fun cars to watch. Of course he had some serious engines in both car. Thinking it could be done cheaper with a little nitrous though. There is some youtube video of Rons Valiant. I was looking for the Demon video. That car he had dialed in good and it launched like crazy but cant find any.
