I know that the corona virus has got people scared and doing goofy things like buying a years worth of toilet paper and other things but this is on the stranger side, look what my sister's neighbor did to the trees on his property. He did this to the trees in the back yard. Why he would do this I have no idea, but I found it humerus.

Good to see that some people come to their sense and don't try to do things that mite hurt other people or cause death to themselves. Looked like that project was way out of his league!!!!
I can admit to one "fix" in the video, in 1980 I was in New Orleans on my way to Florida and one of the tail pipes on my 74 Lemans dropped off the muffler so one can of pop and two hose clamps later I was on the road again. The temporary repair made it all the way back to Iowa.
One thing they didn’t talk about was how there was three deaths at the track that year, one TF one TF bike and a photographer they got hit by a blower Eight in the top end.
Yep, That would make you old !!!!! LOL
U.S. Nationals has always been a huge show... Some good racing has taken place there !!!!!
We just got done with the Hot Rod Power Tour West. Irwindale, Las Vegas, Pomona, ... Lots of cool Hot Rod stuff, good music and food, and the car culture community is just awesome !!!!!
I was there too for that one, saw the T/F crash at the track and on the news when we got back to our motel room. I think the blower was shown on Wide World of Sports once. Live it was brutal, cleaned the guy off that scaffold big TV camera and all.
The year before was my first with my dad at 19yrs old. A guy 5 rows behind us got hit in the head with a clutch bolt from a blown alcohol dragster when it exploded. No cans , blankets or straps back then, it was dangerous for the spectators.
I sure miss Modified Production class, 10-11,000 rpm, dump the clutch 4 speeds, now that's drag racing.
Growing up my neighbor across the street had a 67 Camaro with a small small block that he ran in modified production. I remember him telling me once that he couldn’t find a tack that went over 10,000 rpm.. One thing that I remember about that Camaro is the how nasty the idle was, I know it was over 2000 rpm and rowdy.
It was a TF Harley that did the torque lay over in the lights then hit the wall followed by the opening for the first return road, he hit the beginning of the guardrail, it was a bad wreck.
