Projects Bad Banana Resurrection - 55 Chevy Gasser

I get that annoying message that tells me I haven't posted on the HAMB for a couple weeks. So... to make that go away, here is a link to a slightly modified version of that video in my signature. It now has the correct date for the TV show in it.

That should hold me until the show airs..

 

love the vid!

 

cool..can't wait to see it on Passtime!
congrats on being one of them teevee stars..lol

 

one cool gasser!

 

very cool story

 

Nice video! Your car looks great in the big lights!

 

Wish I had the Speed channel on my cable!

 

Very nice!

Tonight is the night. Don't forget to tune in. 7:00 pm EST

I made a facebook page for the car.

Go there and "like" it.

 

sweeet! an 11.43 all outashape!

 

Here is the run in case you missed it.

 

DANGIT! I missed it last night!

 

11.43 after putting sideways!!!!! way to drive it like you stole it!!!
did you have to change your shorts after the run?

 

Now that's how to get it down the track, Super Job!!!

 

nice drivin--:thumbsup:

 

That thing look like a dog wagging it's tail !
As soon as the pass was over the phone rang and all I heard was, now don't get the henry j doing that kind of stuff. I said nope I would have probably gotten out of it...lol

Nice job on hanging with it, it started good and ended good with just enough excitement in the middle.

 

Honestly, It didn't feel that dramatic in the car. I was more pissed that I had to pedal it but at no time did I feel I was going to lose it.

After all... that car raised me from a baby.. It would never hurt me..

Makes for good TV I guess..

I saw some comments on another website that some think that I was a fool for not bailing on the run and how they would not want to be in the other lane against me... Really?? This is a one time deal for TV. No one in the other lane and I know that. I have it loaded for bear and moved some ballast specifically for that run so I would be sure of the high wheelstand.

I have enough respect for my fellow racers and know when to bail on a run when it gets risky. Especially when there is someone in the other lane. I have been doing this a very long time ... that wasn't my first rodeo..

 

Wicked Ride !

You've got BIG bullocks

 

Best part about this story is FAMILY!

 

I wouldn't worry too much about that other website and comments. You never know who is typing away in there underware living at there mother's house driving there mother's car still and waiting on a dream that will never come true. Hat off! Memory making shit that is!

Hammer down, running it out the back door! Weeeee-ha, now what does Paige smell like up close?

 

That thing got ahold of the Milan Startingline Like a Gasser Should!

 

Rusty,
One of the best threads evah! (That's Maine for ever). Congratulations on your journey and thanks for bringing us all along.

When you said that car would't hurt you, I believed it.

 

I love this car.. what is it about a 55 up in the air.. Cool ride and congrats on a job well done..

 

Great story !!! Thats one bad Gasser !!!

 

great story and an excellent car . not sure how I missed this after just reading 26 pages

 

WOW!!! What a great story and a what a bad-ass pass!! You sir are what it's all about.

 

What did your Dad think about seeing his car on TV? I missed the show, too, thanks for posting up for us. Good job, that's the way to put on a show. I wouldn't sweat what the keyboard drag racers have to say.

I wouldn't take anything to heart that was said on YB. It can get pretty rough over there, thick skin is mandatory. I thought it was a great representation of gassers..
