the thread at http://www.bangshift.com/forum/index.php?topic=24147.msg396826;topicseen is debating the issue, and from what little I know, if it doesn't make the car go straight faster or quicker, than it's not a good side affect. Wheels off the ground is typically a bad thing, and regularly considered a waste of power to lift the car instead of pushing it forward... so I can't understand the people whose opinion or expertise states that this is a good effect... well it's brain candy, but that isn't why they are on the dragstrip is it?

BBNH tumbler has a couple of cool images I felt the need to share

Don't they realize they need to do some chassis work?

Kurt Russell movie still from the Deathproof movie... one of the coolest car chase scenes with a new innovative idea

Must be impressively loud and unusual sounding

He was ready, he was set, did a good burn out, and then fell flat and disappointed the crowd when stumbled and fell. He should'a had V8

at the far end of the dragstrip

the choice selections from voiture-jaune.tumblr so far, James Dean scene from Hud, and Steve McQueen on the set of Great Escape before the bike jump

These two images are enduring.

I've read but can't recall the story with Dean Jefferies and the woman... maybe it was her car? Anyway, cool artists paint box, I've photographed all the pinstripers paint boxes that I've come across so far, and it's very interesting to me to see how each puts their name / logo on them with a bit of lettering and pinstripping

late 1970's bicycle drag racing in Los Angeles

How can ordinary non drag racing people find the following aural symphony irratating? The sight, sound, and smell of drag racing... wonderful stuff!

I don't know why the image doesn't appear, but the video works

These two guys are good friends and were racing each other all afternoon

Notice who is smiling?

And looking back at his friend?

That's because this guy isn't ready to race. Killed it at the start line after getting a little squirrely with the burn out.

And the smiling guy was frequently seen looking back over his shoulder to mock his slow freind. When in front by a long shot at the finish line, it's customary to look back disparagingly and mock the slow poke.. just a little.

Video and photos of a slingshot from Barona's drag racing this past weekend

No Clue II at Barona

Whoops. You never know what you'll get on film,

For the first post I did when I first found this cool wagon at the Over The Hill Gang streak at Campland on the Bay: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2007/05/with-your-chrome-heart-shining-in-sun.html
