[quote=Cut55;3243937]"Catching the 9.92 express, Dick Bourgeois in Big John's candy charger dropped Doug Cook at the gate to wait for the next train in the S-W-C black car." Fontana, late '65.

Funny story about Dick Bourgeois. When Don Nicholson went touring, and wasn't around to tune my roadster, I took it over to the shop that Earl Wade opened with Dick. Earl was Don's right hand man on the dyno at Service Chevrolet, so it was a logical place to take the roadster. The following Saturday at San Gabe Earl wanted to make a pass in the car. The quickest run to date was an 11.14 at carlsbad, and our national record was 11.18. Earl played with tire pressure, and really did a John Force burn out. He staged, and banged off an 11.06. Just as Earl got back to the pits, Dick showed up, and heard us going on about Earl's quick pass. Dick said "shit, Wade can't drive, where's your helmet?" Dick made 3 passes, 11.15 was the best. Then, without getting out of the car, he rolled back up to the line. As the starter was staging the car, Dick took off. Rolled through the lights from about a foot back. 10.86. When Dick came back to the pits he said, "screw you Wade, I got the quickest time slip", and walked off. Still got the time slip in my scrap book!

We were on the non pit side in the stands watching the carbon fiber scoop floating down at us...a few moments later it landed about ten feet away in the isle. About a two seconds later direclty behind us it sounded like someone swung a ten pound sledge over their head and hit the aluminum bleacher. Everyone freaked.

It was a piece of the intake manifold about the size of your fist. It coulda went threw someones skull to their neck....it was still hot.

I have it on display at my shop.

The most stunning explosion I've ever seen AND felt.

Looks like a piece of the body.
