Needs a bit of chassis work. It has a bit too much flex. When that left front wheel is coming off the ground that hard, the right rear is trying to do the same thing.

If you can't fix your chassis problems after reading this book, you better give up building cars.

Ahh yes, "Captain" Morgan's infamous book - a wealth of door car chassis building/tuning info - expensive, but well worth it. I really miss reading his tech columns in National Dragster, and I always wanted to go to one of his chassis seminars.

It seems that the guy in the pic posted above could learn a thing or two in the "roll rotation" portion of the book.
