I run comp BTW, an 8.50 index, cavalier....
Most guys that hurt their stuff, hurt it because they lift. In CC/SA, they dont make enough power to pull the car out level. The wheelie factor is directly related to power to weight. Look at all the other cars in CC/SA. The ones that are quick are launching with the wheels up. I agree they dont need to go to the moon and in fact too much will cost you valuable time but the competitive cars in this class carry the wheels up & out pretty consistently and with out damage.

Also, just to clarify, if you are refereing to the vid of Connelly at Richmond, that was testing. Look at the vids of the car at Indy. He moved weight around and the car is not going as high (its not going as quick or as fast either)
