Event Coverage ....hamb drags....carnage....

D.W. congrats on the 10 second ET in a street car. Slicks and a sticky track can be hell on a driveline especially with a clutch. I did the same type of damage to a 64 Olds rear with all the so called bulletproof **** with a clutch turbo. I was pissed as hell (3rd blown rear in 20 p***es) until I saw one of the track workers trip over the driveshaft/pinion ***embly when they pushed me off the starting line.

 

In the 10s ****ING AWESOME!!!! congrats... what are the plans for the rear end??

 

No worries ! Watched the vid , can't remember the last time I saw somebody so happy about breaking something !

 

Congratulations DW a 10.96 in a street car with a 5 gear. You are the man.
Mat

 

Gotta jump in here, D.W. once again you are the man and you made the drags what they should be. EXCITING !!! The coupes ruled this year, The launches , the wheelies and the all important low ET's.

 

LOL,,,oops, sorry for laughing. Been there, done that, got the scars and the shakes. Try doing that with the pumpkin between your legs against your,,,well you know what I'm talking about.....

I have to admit, thats looks nasty.

 

That`s some nice breakage, got it hooked up though.

 

Thanks again ya'll. I'm gonna build 2 different center sections. A stocker case w/ true-trac & hiway gears for the street to get me back on the road & a beefy nodular one w/ pinon support for the strip.

 

What size gears were you running before?

 

4.11's Brett.

 

You need to put that up on the mantle.

 

I may chrome it 1st!

 

Bwahahahahahaaaaaa. Jeff, your comedic wit almost matches your talent w/ the crayons. Well...........not really, but still.........pretty good! Hahaha

 

Oh really honey? Two different center sections? I do believe there is a 29 roadster dying to get on the road.

Just kidding. The coupe needs to be ready to go by September 26th. I'm ready - let's get to work!

 

10-4 good buddy..........huh.....I mean yes dear

 

Busted! I knew we shouldn't let the wives on the HAMB...

 

"Let the wives on the HAMB"...excuse me, I think you will be the one receiving spankings tonight! HA!

 

i'm not sure who's working harder, dw or the car! were you in pain?

 

That picture cracks me up. Somebody referred to him as Mr. Bean. To me it looks like he's doing something else!

 

And here I was thinking I might get a "check". Now I get spankings! Woo Hoo!

Really though, going with two chunks buys you time from spending the big $$$ right now. A driver quality chunk with highway gears will be relatively cheap. It's the race setup that will hurt a little more and he won't need that anytime soon.

 

Excellent. Whatever makes him happy works for me (as long as the roadster gets done - ha!)

 

Damn, that thing must hook hard!

 

You get a big fat check for that comment mister!!

Angy, take Buzzard's HAMB away for a week.

 

1.45 60 ft w/ buggy spring, ladder bars & plain ol street shocks

 

look at those rear tires bunching up--a little more HP and they would be square

 

Yeah, I think they were too low on pressure? 8 psi I think it was. That pic is from 2 years ago though. This year I ran 10.5 psi

 

I've got a partially ***embled 3rd member with a Strange case on the bench that I had hoped to have in for the drags. Now I am thinking it was a good thing I was down on power as I may have very well found myself in your shoes..

I was in line and strapped in so I didn't see it actually happen, but the folks hanging out with me said it was quite a sight.

 

Cool picture! Is it just me or are his eyes closed?!

 

Dave
I,m sure you were giggling like a 10 year old girl at a Miley Cyrus concert after that 10 sec p***.
Broken parts are cool!!
