yeah thats a nice Coupe... ive seen him there before, alot of money in that car....

heres another one from the burnout box, you can see he had to brake and swerve a bit to 100% keep from getting hit... the driver of the Couple did one hell of a job controlling his car as well, could have been alot worse...

That's some good reflexes by both to avoid a collision.

dont have any more stam, i didnt make it to this race this last weekend, wanted to, but had car work and other crap to attend to first... didnt even get to fish...

the Orielly NW Nationals are next weekend, the NHRA cars will be there along with local guys, stam, the guy i sent your info to about the Dart, will be there with that 68 Belvedere named BRUTUS.... its expensive to go to that one tho, and i have a big BBQ i have to attend to wont be going to that either, always next year...

in a few weeks a makeup race is going on with Pro Street and 10.5 Outlaw cars, its the Bad Dog Shootout, i likely will be going to that one, but not 100% sure, depends on how the fishin is at the time wink

its too bad the boats arent around anymore, i got to go to a couple at Moses Lake where my dads friend raced his Top Alchohol Hydro named "Royal Flush"... 547 blown Alchy Chev on the water sure makes a nice noise:)

A friend used to be real competitive drag boat racer.
He ran a number of Alky hydros and even got a Lucas Oil ride in the Nitro class.
He told me that Nitro & water is flat out scary.
Where the alcohol boat was topped out, the Nitro burning monster was just getting started.

He got airborne and splintered his boat at the red Bluff California event then retired.

Here's my kid sitting in one of his capsuled missiles a number of years ago...





I played around with Hot Rods a bit having a '74 Z-28 Camaro with a blown small block.
It was fun but too expensive for this workin stiff.
I always found the dollars to adrenaline ratio to be much better with motorcycles.

looks like a Sanger like Kevins is, nice boat Salmonella... alot if not most all people dont know that those capsules are actually from F-16s...

last time i talked with Kevin he was getting a TF Hydro, and you are dead on, the TA boats are fast, but the TF boats are a whole different ball game... they are really closing in on the 300 MPH mark too, i think the fastest run was 272 or 274 MPH not sure... on water, thats retarded fast...

i thought about getting a drag boat, but then i thought about it again, and decided it wasnt a good idea...
