Nice pictures,

one question though

why does that FWD hatch have a wheelie bar?

Weight transfer, even though the car is FWD the weight of the car will still transfer just like any other car under heavy acceleration. The wheelie bars actually keep more weight on the front wheels when the car accelerates to prevent wheel spin.

because when it accelerates, the front-end comes up so it decreases traction on the tires....so the wheelie bars help to keep the front-end planted when accelerating, as to keep the contact patch on the slicks. i think thas the jist of it.

the rest of the pics didn't turn out al that great, and I have no idea how to post the videos. I have a Sony dvd camera and I cant figure out how to separate the videos into single clips. It just burns them as one disc with a menu, just like a regular dvd.

I don't think it ran, it was over in the car show area.
