A lil' torqued outta shape maybe?

Maybe there's no shock at all!?!?!??!!? As I said, the suspensions on those cars are really screwed up.........intentionally!!!!
Once they finally get going, under power, god forbid anything gets sideways or breaks.

Kind of like the early '70s when the wheel standers had those sparking skid plates and kept it on 2 wheels for the quarter. Great crowd appeal, but extremely dangerous. They had individual rear brake controls to "steer" the cars.

They still do the sparks Verne !!!

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.

No doubt, Dog is The Man, but here you can crank up the surround sound.

If anyone's interested, that white `67 Chevelle belongs to Robert Schmitt (sp?) of NY, and was the winner of the first Hot Rod Magazine "pump gas shootout" a few years ago.

Here is a more recent video of the Chevelle in action (link courtesy of chevelles.com)

(notice the funky e.t....don't know what's up with that, but note the mph! )
