I know, trivial, but as many miles as I have flown every little bit of comfort matters...and it reaffirmed that I pretty much hate all domestic airlines besides American... I refuse to fly Delta, used to love Northwest, and they merged with Delta.... Used to like United, they are now Continental...

American has the oldest fleet, but the nicest people in my opinion...

So, here are a couple of newly surfaced videos from the Texas Mile...
Thanks to Montye....

Turn up the sound for the burnout... turn it down for the run.... lol...



And what happens when you mix way more than 1000 RWHP... WAY More, and cold weather with Factory OEM tires...

and one more for those that haven't see it yet...

This answers the question of the expression "washed" as in my head got washed out when the gasket let loose...

This is repairable, and it will be, but these are not going back on Brandi... The New LSA heads are in the shop....

Holy shnikees! That looks like toast, but I guess if its repairable ....Now I understand what washed out is when applied to machined surfaces Not cool that it happened to you, but like you say, when you're involved in this kind of stuff, things are bound to break and it leads to better and stronger parts. thanks for keeping us newbs in the loop Robert

Sorry to read about your troubles at the mile but at least you were able to make a run plus you will be back harder.

thanks brother... It was amazing fun and I truly appreciate the support from Camaro5 the site, and the members, those online and those that made the trip down here... Great people...

damn right it is... I was within an 1/8th mile of having it, but you gotta finish to get it...


to all those that helped and supported in any form or fashion...
You need the 300MPH speedo.

?Good choice on the LSA heads. They hung in there at 16psi when the engine let go on the my last dyno.
