My self and a couple of other guys built a car a few years ago that whilst licencing, chutes didn't open.
Brand new, $300k+ worth of car, straight through the sand trap, straight through the tyre wall, through the boundary fence and came to rest in Qld Raceway's paddock.

We got it back to the workshop and with 3 of us on it, it was ready to race again in 48 hours.

Don't miss those days anymore......

As a young teenager in the late 60s our pastime was going to Castlereagh Drags not far from Penrith NSW it was raw dragracing and being able to stand next to the low metal barrier beside the track was in ya face drag racing,gone are those days but the memories.One American ill never forget is Wild Bill Shrewsberry he used to wheelstand his funnycar the length of the track.I found some old footage of him in a different vehicle in NZ.He used to get out of the car on the bonnet while it was wheelstanding.I found some footage in the car he used over here of him doing this at 3.02 on video

Good read eh? I saw that doing the rounds a few years ago but still find it entertaining to read. do yourself a favour and go and see them live! Just awesome and spectacular!

Hey, ya not the first to do it and you won't be the last either. i've seem many a racer with the washing stuck in the basket rather than out on the line.

Back on the track for a licencing pass at 8.40 @ 160. Need to sort the fuel system and shave a whole second and add 25+ mph, then it'll be sorted.

Hey, good on ya.....

I'm pleased you got it sorted out a bit.
Is that the quickest you've ever gone so far?

[Footy Shorts Shane]

It's the quickest and fasted I've been.

Certainly not the quickest or fastest car I've built though.
