				Somebody from the club had this in their photo album.  Does it look like my front end is lifting?   LG G2 springs, Revalved Bilsteins, and a lot of weight taken off the front end. (IMG:http://www.geocities.com/teutonic_speedracer/IMG_5010_resized.jpg) Oh, and this is the front stretch at Watkins Glen....can't tell exactly where, but it's probably in the 100-125mph range. Ok, here is the picture of the car at rest: (IMG:http://www.geocities.com/teutonic_speedracer/lowered_side1_s.jpg) Edited to make the picture fit, and to add car at rest.

				I agree with PF, looks like the front straight where they added the 4th tier of armco for the IRL guys.  Could be that the rear is squatting under hard acceleration since the front straight goes downhill sharply as you approach Turn 1.  Also, the armco gets progressively lower as you near the brake zone.  However, if it is lift, it's kind of sobering since rear straight speeds are higher.  Do you remove the weather strip at the cowl to vent under hood air?
