Adam MAR is a good facility and a fun place to race but Gateway is much closer to me. The first Tuesday I ran at Gateway I finished tech at 6PM and made six passes, sat in the stands and watched about ten minutes and was on my way home at 8PM. Dave Berry :beer
Hey, listen to this funny story 'bout my uncle's GS and his headers. I was out at my uncle's house about 2 months ago, you may have heard of him, his name is Don Colomb, he has a '66 Skylark GS with a Nailhead and it runs 11.91. Anyway, we came out to his house, my bro and I, we had both ridden in the thing but we hadn't fired it up in a while. When we got there, my uncle was putting his shoes on and we asked where he was going, he grabbed his keys and said he was gonna go fire up the beast. We went out there, and it fired up without any problems. My uncle popped the hood to make sure it all looked good. He pull the throttle and reved it up a few times, and it was loud as hell. It's a Nailhead with headers, it's loud, believe me. Anyway, after we let it run for a few minutes and got tired of it being to loud to think, he went ahead and shut it down. He said it souded really good and there seemed to be no problems with it. Well he looked down and saw some black powdery stuff on the floor beneath the engine. He knelt down and looked up under it and just says "Oh my". My bro knelt down and looked, and he said " Holy sh*t, they blew out." And then i knelt down to look, and it was so funny, the headers came down out of the block and started to curve back up, but from that point on, there was no more pipe. The headers had disintegrated where they curved back up and you could look straight into the pipe. I was just like :jd: . Lol, it was so funny.
