Couldn't find any pics from sides or ends ,but this was cut down 1-1/8" on runners. Ported a ton to get taper working for rpm. Had 1-1/8th " plenum spacer and we ran rubber mounted anti reversion plates from Braswell iirc. My brother found time slips from his old victor ram that I welded runners and plated. Had 585" plenum in it also. It was over a tenth faster on his engine than the pro failure otb

Made 3 passes. I'm sure i was making way more power but couldn't get a clean pass then on the 3 rd run hit the wall.

My 60 foot was on track to be my best ever run. Came off the line heading towards the center. I don't know what happened but i hit the wall just before the 1/8 mile timers. There is lots of video out there i will try and find.

I'm ok just a bit beat up. There was probably 5000 people watching so its gonna be hard to keep it a secret.

The car is destroyed.

Prairiehotrodder, I know you are very disappointed as any of us would be also if we were in your shoes, but i know that you are thanking the good Lord that you are ok. Write on the shop wall " Build Back Better " what do ya think . Mark H.

So sorry to see this. I am so glad you are ok. The only thing worse than seeing a wreck is watching someone get hurt. Thank the Lord the car did its job and the man up stairs for looking out for you.

I'm asking Mike how to post a video.

Seeing as you're OK, I suppose it's alright to ask if the drivetrain took a hit too. I've broken a transmission case and bent a rear axle with a similar impact. Although rather than a guardrail it was a hillside adjacent to the road when I spun around on poor tires in the rain. Crunched my 68 Chevelle in the left rear quarter and then the culvert wiped out the front end. That was a lot of years ago (40+) but I remember the incident with unusual clarity.

[prairiehotrodder]

yes the transmission is broken, engine looks ok though one carb has a broken piece not to serious.

Dang!
Awesome hobby at times isn't it?
I had an engine failure a few years back. A little thing that led to destruction (or very nearly so). I've been in the planning/rebuilding phase ever since. But the end is in sight. Here's hoping you can get back at it sooner rather than later.
