Yes, the original photos had a 12" high sign on the yellow center line and I wanted to remove it. By doing so, I had to "fudge in" the bottom of the tires.

Unintentionally, that made it look like it was doing a 6"-8" wheelie, but in reality she would only lift the left front tire about 1"-2" off the ground.

The car had a 6.14 final gear and a 50lb steel flywheel. I would dump the clutch off the line at 6000 rpm and it would come out of the hole like rocket.
