Thread: I LOVE this sport!

Tweet

Before I get into this, let me say that I really am having fun, really, no, I'm serious, despite some minor setbacks. This clip is from this past Saturday (July 3rd) at NED in N.H. I have to set this up, and it will explain the eventual outcome. I made a total of 3 TT, with times in the 10.3 area at from 130 to 133 mph. On the return road I could hear a squeek. It sounded like maybe the lug nuts were coming loose again. After tightening them I would go up for another run and on the way to the staging lanes I didn't hear the squeek, so I figured it was the nuts. On what would have been my 4th run, I found out what the squeek was. All those 4300 rpm launches had taken it's toll on the rear U-joint girdles, and they decided on their own, that they had had enough punishment. Now for the clip...... First the burnout, then, well, you'll see....



Then we have the...errr....umm....main event. This clip is cut a tad short, but all you miss is my son saying "Uh Oh, that didn't sound good"

Yup.......................dat's a BooBoo!!!

Ouchhh........

Well at least i's been relatively small stuff.

Streets, you can just right click and save target as. It shouldn't take that long to download.

That sucks. Better it happened at the line instead of at 130 mph. Friend of mine had his driveshaft break near the end of the 1/4 mile. All of the racket below him made him need to change his undies at the end of it all.
Beautiful car you have there.

I guess I should've turned my head a little more to the left, now it looks more like a Camaro. I only have a little laptop screen here. If my eyes get any worse I'll be goin for the 60" big screen next.

Oh man, did that pop your bubble or what?! Just part of it I guess, not a sport for the faint of pocket book! What fun though, thanks for the clips.

Speaking of '60 Bel Air's, I found 1 I want to see about getting, My grandfather knows the people who have it, the old Jag was in a bad fender bender and isn't anyhing I wan't. The bel air is that teal blue and it's a 4dr.

Now that would be an easy car to photoshop for me.
