Oakley doing a power wheelie. He won first round in T/D, hope he goes far today!

that's pretty cool looks like old startline Stewart is giving him the eyeball

Looks like the front wheels are cocked a little left.

It looks like Rick Stewart was watching him closely! (background)

avatar worthy...

i hope someone has a later shot........it got a lot higher than that. 1.17" 60' on the rear wheels.

I understand that the front end was about 4' in the air before it started to settle down.....

Good thing he isn't running alcohol, it probably would have done an Eddie Hill blowover!

I hear you.....he'd been d.q.'d or arrested for exceeding the speed limit or something. I've been telling Phillip he needs to step it up........Fabio broke a dyno and he can't.

Heck Lem, the last BB Ford engine Phillip dynoed was 1254 real Hp N/A. That was on a DTS dyno. No offense towards Fabio, but he broke a Land & Sea dyno. If comparing the two dynos, the DTS is rated at 2000 Hp capacity and the Land & Sea is rated at 750 Hp capacity.

I've been watching the races on ESPN3, did I just see Phillip's class run a little while ago? They have the cameras lock down, it's hard to tell who's who.

Please do not disrespect the Fabio.........he broke that dyno fair and square .

Oakley, Stott, Sullivan all out 2nd rnd.

Yep, Oakley lost second round to a guy that had a .001 reaction time.

The only way I'll ever break a dyno is with a a sledgehammer.
