I've seen owners take off the front drive train and only use the rear.......saves weight and broken parts .......

I think that was the Sy/Ty event here in KC last weekend or the weekend before. I didnt make it out to the track (KCIR in those videos), but we went ceeping through the hotel parking lots in the GNs. :-P Nice trucks!

Yes, those were taken at the Nats in KC this year (I missed it this year dammit..). BTW....The 10.16 run is posted in the Syclone/Typhoon section of this board.

The front drive shaft breaking vid was someone doing a burnout with the drive shaft still installed.. They supposedly thought it'd be cool at the time. DOH.. The way to do a burnout in a Sy is in my sig.

sucks, but at least it sounds nice....

That Syclone ran somewhere in the neighborhood of 10.5 at last year's SyTy Nat's and was for sale in the pits for something like $65,000 USD. I wonder what they want for it now?

 

[Makaveli]

Whats up Myclone!!! Don't feel bad.. I couldn't make it either.

Watching that second vid just makes me think of a bone snapping. damn.

I heard eons ago it was for sale in National Dragster or the like for ~40k. Then I heard later the price was closer to ~80k.. Dunno for sure as my bud hasnt dropped off his old mags he gives me to read in quite a while so I havent seen the add myself. I met the owner(s) when I stopped by PTE (Hey Patrick ) on the way to the nats last year. Nice buncha fellows those Hoovers.. I just wish my Sy was as clean on the outside as theirs is under the hood.

 

[ALBERTAN]

Yeah it's a very nice truck and they seem like very nice people the little I saw of them in the pits at the '02 Nats. Still an absurd price for the truck though. Maybe having Tony and Nolan as friends skews my judgement.

I made it there this year but left before either of those videos were shot. We left after watching the skateboarder race the razor scooter down the entire 1/4 mile. Too hot and muggy that day!

Thanks for the new links.

riding the razor down the track seem like a fun idea... right up until i hit the 1/8th mile mark....

that little display kicked my a$$.....


but i guess it paid off awhile later when i actually RAN a 1/4 mile to win a $2500 tranny.
