Top Fuel and Funny Car mishaps (video link)

That is some unbelievable stuff!!!! Down in Ocala is Don Garlits Drag Racing Museum. One of the rails in there has a sign over it that reads something like, he went across the finish line upside down, backwards, on fire and set a world record. Its mind boggling.

 

Well, well, well. Lookie who has their own user id!

And yes, I knew that was you doing the burnout. I love the 'big' picture. I'd print it out and frame it!


Here's your 'official' welcome to the board.

'Glad to have you and look forward to racing with you guys soon.

 

I know my auto insurance will not cover it, but LIFE insurance won't either...

What else do they not cover?

 

Kinda like being a Little League baseball coach. Thick skin.

 

welcome anna you will love it what a rush show him how it is done

 

Scary thing is, she just MIGHT show me how it is done.

I tought her how to shoot pistols a couple years back. I have many, but my favorite is a small framed Kimber Ultra CDP .45. I am pretty good with it, putting 5 shots into 2 holes in a target at 25 feet (with only a 3" barrel). She grabbed the thing, learned how to use it with a couple rounds of dry-fires, and then kicked my a$$ with real bullets.

It must be genetic...her grandfather taught Air Force Marksmanship with the Colt .45 and M-1 Garrand. he is one of those guys that can tear down, clean, and reassemble a Colt .45 in the dark, in less than a minute, or something like that. Awards and medals all over the place for serving in Korea.

And, by the way, I love guns, I don't kill animals. Even when I go fishing, I apologize to them and let them go for some kid to catch again later on. So, I am not one of those "survivalist types". Shooting, for me, is a test of skill and patience, just like playing with the Maverick.

Dudes...am i REALLY off-topic here.
