Sheeeet Brick, I got spanked bad on that one...... :( That was at my local track in NH, New England Dragway. I race a heads up class with a bunch of BB chevy Nitrous cars. That pass was my first semi I beleive against the eventual champ of the class, he ran an 8.17 in the finals. If you look closely at the very start of the vid, you'll notice I was still rocking into the lite when the tree lit up!! I didn't even have a chance to barely step on the gas pedal after setting the trans brake....... not that I had a chance, but it would have been nice to get a good launch. I left with less than ZERO boost, you can see it take off about 60ft out. Not a good pass. Was also the last pass before going to Reynold last year, the vacumn hose to my brake booster blew off shortly after launch and I could feel it laying down by half track. No doubt I hurt the head gasket there, but finished it off at Reynolds on an easy pass. :(
 
You can't win 'em all Jack!

Yeah I noticed you didn't get to launch with any boost cause the tree lit up as you were getting into the lite.... Considering you didn't get to launch the car with any boost I'd say that 9.0 @151mph aint all that bad of a pass!!! Some of those BBC nitrous cars run strong, but in the process they burn too many pistons (no thanks)....
 
Jack You should send Steve the Wheelie stand at Atco I gave you on VHS.


I am sure the underwear needed a changing on that run. :eek:


Steve when are you and Acme going to make a tb.com CD. Between the two of you tons of AWESOME videos:D Beats the Political threads anymore. :rolleyes:
 
I have some really good video tape, hi-8 from Cecil County, haven't been able to figure out how to get it on the net...... One run I had it about straight up, but had to let it down because I could feel it drifting to the center line. I think I had one of them "wheelie" kind of weekends.......... was practicing...;)
 
Jack, hopefully you can figure out how to get those vids on the 'net! I never get tired of seeing the Pumpkin in action especially when the word "wheelie" is involved:) :D
