Edit I see at least one turbo in the wreckage. Last edited by Triple Threat; 10/16/10 11:25 PM. -Dustin 67 Dart, 9 second, 392" G3 Hemi 68 Barracuda 340 F/SA

I have no idea if its a fact but, a person told me that he had installed new front brakes so that he could hold it better to build boost .. And this was 1st pass after the install,could be a bs story so take it for what its worth Lots of fast moosetangs here , lots of them devoted local following And the 10.5 thing is big, great when track is perfect but, when its not .. Crashing here is normal, that an big wheelstands that result in smashed pans , etc

I'd post my thoughts on that, but since I already started tissue issues on another post for picking on SlowerGlides, I guess I'll leave this one alone. Free advice and worth every penny...

He thinks the cage was put in about 15 years ago..the owner stated he was suprised it held up that well. Still hard to believe he pretty much walked away without injury. Just sore and one eye is still blurry.
