Wow, what a great thread! Just read through it all. Being just west of Cleveland, alittle partial to these Ohio stories. Your first pass down the strip, yup.
Mine was at a Super Chevy meet at Norwalk. Bleachers packed. I had lots of "street time", but none on a prepped track with slicks...plus the 302 was safetly out of the Z, and in it's place a pretty healthy 400. Nervous as hell, burnout, staged, stoked, revving to about 6 grand. Was gonna put this guy to my left in the weeds. Pop! Clunk!!! Maybe made it just past the tree. Wiped out half a ring gear. You have a couple of birthdays on me, mine was 30 years ago,,,22, just out of the Air Force. Like it was last summer lol. Oh, and the kid's tuition, whew. He's a young welding engineer at Lincoln. Loves his job, met a great girl there, engineer, getting married. Money well spent.
Walked over this enough. Anybody find his Yenko yet??
I really hope it's some 7 second,tube chassis monster,past maybe forgot. Versus dying in some eccentric's field.
