Good Job!

Putting the bars on the car is a good idea from a safety standpoint too. Just make sure if you take them off, you
chack to make sure someone put them back on before you really launch the car.

I saw "the Master" Arnie Beswick launch at one of Butler's Memorial Day events some years ago. No Bars!

The front end was pointing at the evening moon! Wheels
were over a man's head.

Once Arnie figured out something wasn't right, he drove
it down the track until he could softly drop it back to
the ground. No damage except for a loose crank trigger,
if I remember correctly. Big Dave Anderson was there too!
Right Dave?

The bars will also make you quicker, but "Wheelie Boy"
never really wanted to go fast. JK!
