Default DirtWheels does it again

I usually don't look at this mag. for this exact reason.I was thumbing through it last night in WalMart looking at there hot quads section.They had a Trinity drag bike in there,535 cheetah,alky,and Lonestar Chassis.They claimed to make 138hp which I'm sure it does.The thing that got me is that the guy riding it had the front wheels about 2-3ft in the air.If ya look real close you can see that the heim joint on the oppisite side A-Arm has broke and the tire and wheel are about to fall off.This of course is goin' to hurt really bad when he lets out of it!Being that Lonestar is already having complaints on their drag chassis's breakin' and they are a paid advertiser,I'm sure they really appreciated this photo.

is that Harry on the Blue Legend or whatever they call it?

I saw that picture too, but I didn't think it could really be his wheel. I would rather see the "after" picture - after his front end bit sand!
