You are correct i was standing on the Drivers side of the car behind the barracade and saw it get on two wheels for a brief moment.
You could see the car leave and then see the flames shoot out of the headers as 2nd and 3rd stage came on..as soon as that happened he took a sharp Right...for a minute we thought he broke an AXLE because it was such a sharp Move.
If the guy in the right lane had not laid down a good 60ft there would have been a T-bone
I gotta give it to Ole Tony he came back to The Pitts and had some select conversation with a few people,,,then saddled back up and went again like nothing happened..i would have been tore up too much after that one...the car didn't have but a .998 60 ft...thas all ...lol

yes i have...i ran the car on Motor in the begining just to get use to the car, turns out the car didn't handle as well on the motor cause the chassis is set up for spray...leaving on the motor doesn't load the chassis making it a little squirly about the 330 ft thru the traps....its got a 370 gear and a very Tight (nos) Converter and weighs almost 3100 lbs.
anyhow i ran it a few weeks ago and it was 102 degree's and it ran 5.80's on Motor for 3 straight passes at 125 mph
1.38 60 ft...it didn't start to run until the 330ft mark with the gear and converter...look at that 60 ft (1.38 ) on motor its creeping up to the 330 ft mark.....then you better hang on...lol :shock:
the last pass we turned on the small kit...and it ran a 5.05 @140 mph with a 1.15 60 ft....it just loves spray
Little cooler weather its a high 5.60 car on motor 4.90 car on 1 stage and a best of 4.68 @153 mph on 2 stages
Beast right Now its soooo hot down here i have had her parked in the garage..will get her back out when it cools off a little
I have to admit its taken some getting use to running this heavy car on 10 inch tires...i have had to learn to drive all over again...nothing like i have done before.....i am getting real comfortable now.
thanks for asking
