I'm surprised to see how much the slicks shimmy around under load.

Now that is cool beans! I replayed it several times and paused it to study what all was happening. I wonder if the front wheel shimey was caused by the driver or that just naturaly happens due to steering geometry?............................MO

From the front really shows the wobble. It just looks cool when the whole car lifts up on the launch!

Damn ; That's some serious bump-steer right there, steering geometry is way off, too much suspension drop & wrong tie rod angles @ a minimum, for any type performance car, especially one that wheelies hard... Unfortunately it's not really out of the norm thou, allot of people don't address bump-steer in drag cars, they think it's only for handling cars, until they see these type of videos...

very cool detailed clear slow-mo videos thou, thanks for sharing

It seems like you see that a lot in drag videos. Apart from addressing steering geometry issues, why don't people put steering dampers (steering stabilizers) on these cars? No matter how good your setup is, none of our cars came from the factory with the proper components to stifle a bounce from 3 feet, much less 2 bounces in a row!

Super Slo-Mo is an amazing thing. Makes you wonder how it all holds together for one pass much less over and over. Thanks for sharing !
