Thanks to Mark Skala and his setup I'm able to post this link.
http://www.rcd-video.com/images/drag-low.mpg Also he helped me get my car back after spending the night in the NE Dragway parking lot with a missing water pump belt. It either flew off or broke sometime during the run. The right meter under the knee pad indicates 180 (straight up) during the run, but early on the way back I noticed temp gauge pegged and freaked. By the time I pulled over it started to steam. 260 on the mechanical gauge on the manifold! It blew the overflow hose off the filler neck after cutting a slice in the plastic expansion tank cap. I thought for sure I'd cracked a head. Luckily it seems to run fine, but I need to talk to the builder about lurking damage. Below it my time slip. Bad reaction time and a tranny-saving start on 185's helped only my tranny, unlike an earlier Mustang that delayed things 25 min to clean his off the track. For some background on the car I think it's in my project post, which I haven't updated in some time but the basics are there. I've been so busy driving it! Ed Attached image(s) |
