I think the best story is what happened to the ceiling of your shop when it briefly hit while inside...[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img].

Which reminds me...ordered those ear plugs yet?!

Re: 68 Dick Harrell Funny Car
 

huh....what did you say.....can't hear you....the noise that engine makes is unbelivable....with head phone type protection it still makes more noise than a stock big block with open headers.....and it sure puts on a pretty fire show at night

There was a bright glow and rumble on the N.Y. horizon the other day---maybe you should start it up in an underground bunker---------sounds like fun---I SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE FUN---CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!!!!------- [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Did a once over on the FC, including checking starter, ignition, trans/shifter, timing, throttle, etc. Everything checked out OK. Then it was time to wet down the concrete in front of the shop and see if/how it would launch. WOW.
Unbelievable!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img] Thanks Mo [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img]

Re: 68 Dick Harrell Funny Car
 

Tom,
Don't mean to throw a wet blanket on your fun but PLEASE tell me you're wearing a firesuit when you're out there playing! OH, and that you're strapped in!

I know this is recreation (and therapy in some cases) but many of us would really hate to see you become one of your own clients!!! Have fun but take extra care my friend. (Watch him, Rob!)

Well there is a sad story that goes with the pictures.....had my son filming and the battery went dead just as Tom was starting to do the burnout.....but batteries are charged and we won't miss the next one....
