Dragstrip pictures

[rich 36]

Remember seeing a picture possibly in P911W
a couple of years back of a 70's event
with an early 911 making a spirited start off the line

(front was all but airborne)

anyone got a picture like that handy?

I know it's not quite what you wanted but here's my attempt at a spirited start at Santa Pod today:



(with a bit of imagination the front wheels could almost be leaving the ground

OK
I'm squinting, but its not really doing it

There is this one:

He certainly gets the front wheels off the ground (10.7s 1/4 @ 140mph!) but it's not from the 70's

Indeed airborne, but what I was hoping to see, was more like Tom's earlier,
a still at roughly the same angle, but featuring a 70's car haunched down off the line.

further details although sketchy are I think, that it was a South African raceway

not certain on that One though

There was a fellow in SA I think he was called Brian White, he had a very modified 930 Turbo. I saw it lift the left front wheel on launch and carry it all through 1st & 2nd gear like that.

It ran 10 sec qrtrs at 6000 ft above sea level in 1981 ! It was faster than modded GSX11oo Katanas

No thats not it either thanks,
although I can see you've fulfilled the criteria on adhesion to road surface
