A lil' torqued outta shape maybe?
 
Was browsing through some old photos I've gleaned over the years, thought some here might get a kick outta this.

p.s.

Notice the Alston Chassis billboard just beside the car. I'd say a phone call is in order. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Must be something to do with the flexxy frames under those cars.

This one is "Carolina Thunder" driven by Danny Goveia. Somewhere around a 500" 409 in a 62 bubble.

I wonder how many times the passenger side door handle has been replaced from dragging on the starting line? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I figured it'd be a runner...just a white-knucklin' S.*.B. on the launch. I've had to wrestle a few ill-handling rides off the starting line, but those take the cake. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif

Still cool tho. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Any 10sec "X" frame car can be set up (mis-set-up)to do that on launch. IT's done on purpose for crowd appeal and appearance money. THose cars could be easily set up to run straight and level...and with better ETs.
