A old way of playing twister. Some of my first memories of drag racing were the old superstock pictures from the 60s with them all twisted.

yeah I use to have an old V8 Vega street car in the late 70's, the rear side windows would pop out on almost every hard launch, good thing they were hinged pop out style windows, the dash got cracked really bad after a while, before I finally put a full chassis in the car, it wasn't ever the same after that thou, it was hard to get someone to race with a full chassis & cage in the car...

My 1st RR, even with sub-frame connectors & a roll bar, would rip the driver side quarters, right where they met the door pillar & I would weld them back up, it did it like 3 times...

Even the old AA/A, Gassers, Pro-Gas or latter style door-slammers with full chrome-moly cages, would twist to all beat hell in the early days... That's the way thye worked back ten tire technology has come along way & we have double frame well acrs that don't really twist like the old 2x3" frames & single rail tubular chassis use to... I only have a couple, most all just wheel-stands, not twisty torquey launches...

The 60 Impala in Alleys post is local to me and leaves like that every time.

There can be such a thing as too much torque.

How does the torque get so one sided on these cars? Why do they twist one way over the other? Pretty incredible......

I believe its has to do with the direction the crank rotates

I don't believe he torqued his lugs sufficiently...

In that case you shoot your pit crew - or if that's you, you commit hiri kari

Where's that goofy looking pic of the b-body [green I think] with the formula 5000 scoop? Looks like it's gonna barrel-roll.
