Default Hey Madman

Hey you fruity bastard, we tried the car again last night. We had some tranny troubles, damn thing wouldn't shift into second. BUT.... we went up one bolt hole on the torque arm and tightned up the shocks a ball sack. She ran a 5.50 @ 110 in 1st gear... The short time was 1.37 all still on the radials..

yeah, it's a glide.

not any luck tonight though.. drug the bumper on the first pass and broke everything on the landing.. the back tires were about 6" off the ground when it was dragging the bumper....

Yep we're looking for sponsors to help out replacing the broken parts in return for advertising..... and beer

So far we broke our:

PA Racing Kmember
Moroso oil pan
Aluminum tranny pan
MADMAN manual rack
...and lost one pair of fruit of the looms

No doubt this is the most insane hooking, I've ever witnessed on Drag Radials

If it is an aluminum block be sure and check your main bearing webbing. We didn't and we paid out the *** for it...

Hell I wish we could afford an aluminum block motor, but then again I need all the weight on the front I can get...
