  1. Have it recorded..... but did see that.... Del needs to take a serious look at things..... and he said as much.... I question the fire suppression system on that run..... but the body might have been too far gone for the system to put out.... Either way.... glad she is ok
  2. Well..... I wouldnt rush anywhere for $1/rd for 9mm..... thats too high..... even in these times and welcome to the forum..... You will find that most of us do buy our ammo online...... or reload. It's scarce ...... but it does become available from time to time.....
  3. It's actually due to air...... but not what you think The Chrome Moly chassis are designed to flex, and the area in front of the driver compartment is where at lot of flex is meant to happen. When the chassis bows..... it actually allows more pressure to be put down on the rear tires..... This weekend in St Louis the weather was beyond exceptional for making horsepower..... cold dry temps..... the air density was at or below sea level..... This is where these engines can make over 11,000 hp ...... add that to the dense air that will allows the rear wing to generate over 4000 lbs of downforce..... No usually .... even with all that downforce..... the rear tires will still have slippage .... its normal.... But with the unusual conditions teams were having trouble getting enough wheel slippage...... so with all that being said..... all these forces played a roll in just finding a weak link...... and bending the chassis beyond what it could take that day..... and the car snapped in half... Thank god for all the safety precautions that the NHRA put out..... Leah walked away from this...... Now.... there have been times in the past where Top Fuel cars have had a " Blow Over" ..... it does happen when the front wheels get in the air and it will catch the car and blow it over....... this was not the case here.... Truly the perfect storm of very high HP conditions, Dense cool air, and way too much track grip.....
