What happened to the street rod video? I saw it last night and can't find it now? Bought a car like Kinser's and wanted to watch it again.

Lots of small wiggles coming off the transition in all my basx cars, any helpful hints would be appreciated.
I may be off base, but don't confuse wiggling with just the car kinda shifting a bit side to side....
My terms may be off, but wiggling to me is when the wheels are actually sliding or moving back and forth on the track which definitely cuts down on speed....
but if you look closely, there are cars where the rear of the car seems to kinda shift side to side just a small bit...but the wheels themselves are not sliding or moving side to side....maybe this is just a function of the bore to axel diameter difference so the wheel itself is staying on path and not sliding but is sort of just tilting or oscillating a bit.....I think this could also cause some slow down depending on how much there is or how severe it is....but perhaps not as much as outright wiggling....
as such maybe that's why some cars that do show this oscillating movement still put up fast times versus cars where the wheels outright slide or or move off line...
Just my own thoughts....

I know I was able to prevent what appeared to be wiggle by minimizing the rear wheel gap. I think the thread where I asked this question was called "Death Wiggle."
My cars are like Kleenex only good if there's a little boggy in it.
Difference between a "Sway and a Wiggle" sway is fast, a wiggle is not.Rocket car said:
I knew there was a proper term!!! thanks professor Joel!!!! LOL...I actually like sway way better than what I said HAHA
Regardless of the word used, I find it somewhat disturbing to hear you guys talking about watching Joel's rear end shake/wiggle/sway.
