popped the chute!

Can you name this famous Buick racer putting the hurt on a very bad 67 chevy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17lB5W-YN_4&feature=share

 

That is none other than the famous Bobb Makley.

 

Cool! Scott

 

You can find his car on an episode of passtime on youtube.

 

Cool vid! Why do i find it funny in the video description it says "had to abort pass". Looked like he was on the throttle till the line to me. Kinda sounds like an excuse....

 

I never heard him lift.

 

in some of his other videos he had traction and tracking issues. He definitely moved a bit towards the wall, but if he lifted it wasn't by much.

 

... lift is at 58.5 sec's as he's landing, you can even see a bit of sparks from the headers htting pavement.

 

Ok, i thought i may have heard a blip of the throttle at that point but wasnt sure since i was listening on a smartphone speaker.

 

I think he was beat before he lifted.
