Dragster flys at Picton Airfield
Dolmetsch:
I already had two at two different locations plus the carbs are loaded return as well. Anyway glad to be alive. Gonna be sore for a week or so I imagine. The track had a drone copter videoing all day. The track organizer phoned again to check on me and said he will see of there is video of the whole deal. He said I was so far out in the weeds many didn't think it was anyone from the track. Wife says I am moving better already. We will see what tomorrow brings.

Don, what a wild ride! Glad to hear you're OK.
slofomoco:
Phew! Glad you are able to tell us the story. Hope you find the problem quickly.
GlennLever:
What a ride, glad your OK!
Dolmetsch:
ME too. It was an adventure for sure! Tis a tribute for the safety rules though as I built the car by the book. I never bumped my head or hit any of the bars with anything and absolutely nothing is broke on the car despite the wild ride. it is interesting to note despite the 96 inch wheelbase even when the car became a runaway and was still building speed directional control was never even a remote issue. If I was to add anything to the car I think it would be some laundry. A chute might have saved the day.
