That jackstand thread got me thinking.

Post all your favorite cars pics with at least one wheel off the ground.

Cars on jackstands don't count...

Hands down Bill Pickering would win for the two wheel show at the Marina last year.

I take full credit as I designed the course. But maybe Rich Walton should take some credit as well, given that Bill was trying to catch him.

Oh, sorry, no pictures. It was either take pictures or run for our lives.

Stiffen up those rear springs and give four wheel grip a try. You'll like it.

Bill P. ran 300-375# springs and still went for it.

I run 150#'s. It's the monster front bar that does it, I think.

Posted by: trekkor Jan 8 2005, 10:30 PM

Before...

I still lift though. Maybe the stickier tires contribute.

would stiffer springs/less sway bar do the trick?

Here's a friend of mine at an autox at Candlestick about 2 years ago. Poor course design put this corner right after a big bump. Other cars were getting even more air than this one!

Only autocross or race lift is allowed? There is a hill by my house that my dad launched his 911 at the top of, we were about 6 inches in the air, all wheels off the ground. The landing really hurt (his car is wicked stiff)

I really wich I had a pic.

Posted by: nine14cats Jan 9 2005, 11:30 PM

Here's me up on 2 wheels at the Marina Airport Auto-x in Monterey last year (The one Randal was referring to). Birgit took the pic. I could see everyone running away from the car as it went up on two wheels at the end of a high speed section into a hairpin. I even remember Birgit down on one knee to snap the shot.

The 911 guys said that you can't get a 914 up on two wheels at an auto-x, it would spin out first. I was running 375lbs rear springs, 23mm front torsion bars, a 27mm Smart Racing adjustable bar up front, and a stock rear bar connected. I had an open diff at the time and was running 23x9x15 Gooyear Cantilever slicks R210 compound (man...I miss that compound!)

It was a warm day and Rich Walton of JWE and I were going head to head with our final 3 runs back to back. The folks in the Loma Prieta Region were nice enough to let us run against each other with hot tires since I believe we were something like 1.5 seconds in front of the 3rd place car. Warm slicks with a nice warm, grippy service.....yep....you can get it on two wheels at an auto-x!

To this day, that's the most fun I've had at an auto-x!

Bill P.

All of the "stiff" GT3RSR's and BMW's get all four off the ground at Sears point. Our GT3R 00 team received a poster of the number 5 car off the ground at the end of the weekend. Pretty cool gift. I dont think amateur photo guy's have access to the part of the track where it occurs (I forget which corner..may be 3?)

There were three Mercedes CLK flips at that years Le Mans, one in practice (car repaired), one in the morning warmup (car withdrawn), and one in the race (one car crashed/flipped and one car withdrawn). I think Mark Weber, current F1 driver, was in one of the flyers.

Does the seriously airborne car mean we should wear parachutes when we drive?
