    Briz nice video even though it was on the slowest pass of the event for us:Do No:.

    I'll try to get some of our gopro videos up in the next few days.
    Best pass of the Event was a 7.82 pass at 172, when we Boiled the transmission

    Boiled peanuts = good.

    Boiled transmission = bad!


    The wagon lost a freeze plug on the last pass.

    Alan I hope you did not make to big a mess when it let go:Do No:.

    Micheal many people think the Front Engine cars are straight as an arrow on a pass. What you see from the stands is not what you see and feel from the seat.. If you get behind the control aspect of a FED you will be in trouble before you realize you are.

    I just looked through a bunch of the videos we took from 3 different cameras and will be uploading it in the next few days.
    Tomorrow we unload the car into the shop to see what broke in the trans......:puzzled:

    With my hand on the trans I spun the engine with the starter and you can feel something dragging in the trans.:eek2:

    I'll try to post some videos starting tomorrow.


    We had a great time hanging out and racing with our friends.
    Hope to see some of you over the winter months.

    Wayne said he didn't see any smoke and the freeze plug stayed on top of the starter.

    In fact, it stayed on top of the starter all the way back home, too!

    Gary could you please email me copies of those pictures please:TU:
    Very nice shots. We are also looking for some pictures right at the hit if anyone has any.

    Alan I'm just glad your tires stayed dry:eek2:

    I didn't really think about it, but I'm sure the weight helps.

    How about this hot rod instead? Just click on any photo I've posted and it will open photobucket. There you can view it in full size by hovering on the image and wait for the magnifying glass to appear in the upper right-hand corner of the photo, then click the magnifying glass and the image will open full size. Then right click, select "save picture as" and save the image to your computer. Then you can crop or zoom the image as you desire.
