Yeah and they said that with a 10.5 tire too... I respect their quest to be the first one to the stripe, and see that they were "on their own".... no people down track, no crosstraffic, nobody to harm but themselves. Smart?? maybe not, but the adventure factor is certainly high . If you do some searches you can find other cars of this caliber making clean hits on the street.

Just because you can "tag" it doesn't make it a street car... Just saying.

Thats the thing... he was to be one of those TV stars the following week.... you cant test and prep for a street race at the track..

In my opinion.. being out in the middle of no where is a heck of a lot better than being on the outskirts of town in some industrial complex..

I have my own deserted "industrial complex" that I test at. Of course, as was said - a 10-second ride is way different than what's almost a pro stock ride. My "test" spot is between two huge warehouses that are 1/3 mile long and room to turn semis around between them. No view of the area from the road - and it's on private property. Nobody has ever bothered me there. You can't get very far into high gear, but you can sure work on the launch settings.

I had a close call or two with a few of my toys, but I know that running a car like that on a crowned road is just asking for trouble. And I have the scars to prove it

Looks like Paradise Road, he must not have watched American Graffiti.

At least he wasn't endangering anyone else.

No linkage between pussies and stupid.



I'm not sure how true or untrue that statement is, but taken out of context one can go many places with that

Insults and attitude won't save you from reality. I hope you never race where I do. I take chances, but only within reason. You obviously don't, and some day will learn the hard way, hopefully all by yourself.

Sorry I participated in this post. I'm sure those involved ( and I don't know any of them ) don't need any help from me with their feelings. Hope they recover soon and get back to building kick butt Mopars.

I guess one can argue that drag racing in a legal enviroment, on a race track, with security, medical and safety equipment in place.. is still stupid..

Its all a matter of which side of the argument you want to sit..

Me.. personally... I love drag racing.. I love racing of (almost) all types.. as long as its done in a safe and sane manner with reasonable precaution taken..

At least it wasn't a total loss. The lift-off hood and fenders are still in good shape.
