Ride along in the Slingshot Dragster

    BUQUICK I'm your huckleberry.

    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 a moment 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.

    I wasn't very well prepared and I didn't have my camera set to the higher resolution. I also didn't fill the frame with the subject, but you can save the images, and then crop out as much of the background as you would like to bring the dragster closer to the viewer.

    Here are all of the shots from that run:

    Gary thanks for the pictures, very nice:TU:

    Briz we will have to mount the GoPro next time out to get you some more videos 1 second faster than this video pass.
    Talk to you soon about the upcoming BBQ:grin:

    The trans came out yesterday and the 2 seals on the input shaft were toast. The forward seal was melted to the shaft.
    The output bearing in the starter was also broken so that will get rebuilt this week.
    We are also putting in a new center section in the rear. Going from the present 3:89 to the new 4:56..
    The tune up was also on the lean side so we have already set that up for the next time out on 11/18 at Orlando:3gears:

    It was getting to be to small for the next engine level. Perfect for a blown nitro funny car though:D
