Went to the track the other night for Thursdays Fast Ford Night. And bare witness to a painful event. There was a guy from Canada running a 68 Mustang coupe with a blown 390. The car was amazing. He ran high 9's all night. Well right up until the semi finals. He pulled up through the burnout box. Did his thing and lined up at the tree. Got his rev up slightly. Tree turns green and BANG! I was like what the flunk. His blower/ engine exploded The blower took off like a short lived missle. In its initial launch phase it took the hood with it. After all the white smoke cleared. The driver emerged un hurt. The blower landed about 40 feet behind the car. Luckily no one was hurt. There was also a short fire but track officials quickly extinguished it. Now if that was my car. I woulda been in the dumps after that. But the guy wasnt even that mad. He must have more money than i do
Anyone else seen one of these things explode? Now the track is talking about making anyone with a blower have them strapped on like the top fuel cars. Unfair or Safety smart? Who knows...........
