<------User title that is...


Yeah, I did it again. After an entire season of only minor destruction last year (I think tearing the convertor through flywheel and taking out the starter was the best I got last year), I DESTROYED 3rd gear in the Z on the first day at a track in 2008. Was trying to hit 12s at Island, and according to 60' and 330 of that run, would have.. If 3rd didn't try to break my wrist. :shrug: Now I have 4 cars, and all need something :banghead:

Dragster - Needs rods and pistons. probably will not run until then, simply because of my track record, and they have a good amount of runs on them. Engine builder said should be good for a few more months, I will NOT take chances with an engine that has been that good to me.
2002 Z - needs trans :cry:
79 - Needs to be disected, and possibly transferred into 81 that needs less resto work.
Jeep - Needs a new jeep :lol:

since you're relatively new-ish.. I don't believe you've seen my work.. Here's an album dedicated completely to my testing of the integrity of various parts on different cars. I have proven over and over that NOTHING is built "indestructible," but rather, can only be built "stronger than usual"

whats wrong with this? :shrug:

[Rich189]

Nice job... not sure how you accomplish all the breakage though its one thing to have bad luck sometimes but yours really is continuous

U RULE! Hey, my bathroom needs to be ripped apart so it can be refinished...wanna come over and save my contractors some work? I'll supply drinks...:mrgreen:

cyl. wall collapsed in the burnout, right around 5500 rpm. Turns out stock big blocks cant handle 800 hp for a whole season :shrug: That's why I now run a chrysler MegaBlock.. and have a 2nd still on a palatte.

you drive them hard melissa

yeah, well.. when you think about it, I have MUCH MUCH more track time than anyone else, and when you continuously push parts to the limit, stuff is bound to fail. Those pictures are also ONLY of stuff after I got a digital camera. I have been blowing stuff up since I was in jr. dragsters.. Most of you guys only go to the track a few times a month at most. On occasion I have raced 3-4 days weekly, each day making 7-8 runs. This will be my 17th season on the track (including jr's, which I also managed to damage on occasion), and 9th season behind the wheel of a full size car, so I have a few thousand runs under my belt. In all honesty, when you think of it that way, 3 motors, 4 powerglides, 4 or 5 convertors, a clutch (dad's), a T56 and a wiring harness is really not that bad of a track record. I think. :lol:

[qwikz28]

:shock: i haven't broken anything in my car, i'm obviously not driving it hard enough

[trashman01]

if you dont break anything, you didnt run it hard enough

[jims69camaro]

not at all. there are guys who melt stuff down each run down the quarter, so you're not really pushing your equipment hard enough. with that small pile of parts, i'm surprised you have as many runs as you have. that must mean that you are building stern stuff. that's a good thing.

Poor camaro.... :(

thats very true as well if you think about it that way but either way im not letting you break my car :moon:

[bubba428]

you have a skill.....to bad nothing survives,

[racerz]

its not a matter of being new-ish its understanding mechanics and preventive maintenence on my stuff. I've raced for 10yrs and fried a trans. Friend of mine runs a 7sec.dragster at Island and showed me the ropes. He ran points at other tracks for over 20yrs. Weekly inspections of equiptment pays off. But if u want to glory in ignorance be my guest. Because u brag about over a thousand runs makes u nooo better than anyone else out there.

[Mike]

dude, take a chill pill. the newish has nothing to do with track or racing, it has to do with being on the site and missing old posts. and if maintnence prevents everything how come so much **** breaks in the nhra pro classes?

you also asked for any negative posts that you recieved with your dumbass "women drivers" post.

Failure can just happen, regardless of inspection. Parts fail. What, do you sonic test your block and heads every week? Do you open the rear up and pull it apart? Do you rebuild the trans weekly too? Let me guess, you also have a full Rumul testing facility too, just to make sure everything is at 100%. Bragging about only breaking one thing doesn't make YOU any better than anyone else.

As has already been said, you took the new-ish comment the wrong way, it was only meant as related to this forum. I understand mechanics perfectly well, and without knowing any background you really shouldn't make assumptions. I also run a 7-second dragster at Island, and I'd really like to know who your friend is, because I guarantee he is a friend of mine as well. Weekly inspections only go so far, and you cannot tell me that equipment doesn't fail. You name me any of the drivers in super at Island, and I will tell you when they had something break. It happens.

I also have no idea if you get off on the name calling thing. Calling me ignorant and saying that I'm bragging about something is completely uncalled for. Nowhere in any of my posts was I "bragging." I stated a fact, to show that in all actuality, damage to run ratio is actually pretty low. I could "brag" about a lot of things, but I choose not to. If I didn't know how to drive, people would not come up to me and ask me to run their cars, either to see what the car will run, to jump into a gamblers race, or simply because they want to see their car go down the track. If I was ignorant, and didn't know how to drive, I wouldn't have been asked to drive a $100,000 pro-mod car, which I turned down because I didn't trust the mechanics on the car.

Enough with the name calling and derogatory comments. It's completely unnecessary in life and on this board, and are only used to make the person throwing them feel better about themselves.

whats wrong with this? :shrug:

did that used to be a connecting rod?

[Mike]

sure was



dont lie though melissa, this is the third time you broke a ls1 t56 :(

[79CamaroDiva]

did that used to be a connecting rod?

at one time in its life. It decided it needed a room with a view, and windowed the oil pan of an 8 second 67 Camaro I was driving. I was around 1000' on the track, about 140 mph, and got the car stopped without hitting the guardrail. That was a wild ride I hope I never have to go on again. Oily 14" slicks are no fun to stop on.

Listen, the first time I broke your car, I wasn't even driving it. I didn't even sit in it. Your bird just spontaneously poops itself when I'm around :(

I guess our friend is above apologies. And doesn't want me to know who his friend at my track is.
