haha seems like its becoming a talent for Roy to leave the start line in this manner.
Re: May be a little to much power off the line? MR2 wheelie @ santapod
With a start like that surely the car is capable of hitting the 9's , still would rather fix that issue

Re: May be a little to much power off the line? MR2 wheelie @ santapod
why doesnt he fit a wheelie bar then?
or go for slightly less grip?
it might mean a trade off for a little spin but at least it will be forward motion and not upwards
