This photo's actually from last December, but I only recently found out we had it on the web... I'm waiting for a copy for my "I didn't think I could do that" scrapbook.

I was on stock 16" rims, Kumho Victoracers, Spax Krytpon struts with Eibach springs that lower me about 1 1/2".
Jason your pic is almost the same pose & angle -- not to mention the same wheel in the air!
However, one of my instructors did even more with his BMW:

This shows Keith's front wheel really flying, and I think his rear tire is off the track, too! This is Keith Roberts, quoted below!! Anyone who can corner like this and still be looking ahead is having a LOT of fun :rofl:
Our club's photographers have a lot of good pix on our site: link (http://www.gulfcoastautocrossers.com/gcacpics.html).

horribly underpowered, undersprung, under swaybared(all stock motor and suspension a few years ago, but I was also on a fresh set of hoosiers. It'll be interesting to get it back on r comps with the new suspension and motor, but for the time i'll have to be runing on Azenis 615's

I don't think I have any pics of mine on 3 wheels. I've been told it does though, and with an Aussie bar out back, I don't doubt it at all.

wow, wonder if the stewards talked to him after he got done with that run

The description of the vid mentions that this was before he added 120 lbs of ballast to the right side. The 2 wheeling was probably a big factor in the addition of weight.

That Civic...:eek: Jaged, why would the stewards be mad at him? That thing just has THAT much grip, IDK what they would do about it. If the car is within the rules of his class, then I can't imagine they could say anything.
Seeing all those "open" courses makes me jealous that we run on such a small skidpad down at Firebird....
Oh, and my 3-wheeled action (on stock suspension!!!!!) The pics were taken with a "rapid-shot" type camera, so there's a "sequence" to show. The first pic has the 3-wheeling action, and the other 3 are right after that (you can see the car get out of shape, but I saved it and kept it off the cones!)

I've got a whole new suspension I'm putting on the car, I can't wait for the first event I run (either May 12th or May 20th).

because it is a saftey issue. no one wants a car to flip over, and given how far he is going it would be very possible
