LUNCHED my engine on the way back from the Drags. VIDEO

I'll donate a pair of 67 camel hump heads if you can use them. I'll see what else I have. Give us a list...

 

Just start diggin in to it and she'll let you know what she needs. Got a lot of goodies to make another fine motor. YRUHOT.Doug

Every time I have been since my very first HAMB drags I have said that your car is one of my all time favorites and really embodies the spirit of the event. Glad that it happened so close to home for ya, but sorry it happened. Im also glad that I at least got to say hi to you a couple of times since I havent been there since '09. Maybe next year the sinus infection wont keep out of the parking lot.

ATCH, sorry to hear about your misfortune. I was looking for you all weekend.

 

She had a great life!!

 

You mean like for our dead homies???... you're so street.

 

Last run in HD.....

Ran when parked.

 

Jeff,I'm glad to hear you & your car made it home under it's own power and not on a rollback,, that just wouldn't be right for an old war horse like your sedan.

I know the sedan is destine to have another Poncho and will be as good as it ever was in no time! HRP

 

I'll second the offer for help or beer, and how cool the A got you home before giving up. You two have something special!

Bring the remains up to lunch Saturday and we can have a ceremony for it in the parking lot.

Enjoy driving the crappy pickup! Sorry had to say it. Glad you had a great time and made it home homey!

 

I just stood up, removed my hat, and observed a moment of silence... full honors, man.

 

Jeff,
Sorry to hear the bad news, but after 80K miles (much of it a quarter-mile at a time), I'd say that you got your money's worth.

If it isn't rebuildable, maybe you can burn the remains on a funeral pyre... Give it a send-off fit for the warrior/king that it was.

 

I've seen that truck and I think it's a great looking truck. HRP

 

your motor was more of a sport than mine! I spit a rod on my 3rd pass of the day, down at the big end..

 

I agree HRP. I think it's a awesome looking truck! I was using Jeff's words. For some reason he just doesn't love it.

 

At least you made it home okay. Next motor should be even better

 

Sucks to hear, but glad it made all the way home. That engine does deserve a spot on the wall. Interested to see what you find out went wrong.

 

Oh yea. YOU are getting the blame for sure...

Best HAMB Drags ever.

-Abone.

 

Damn that sucks bro. Maybe you should switch from Ponchos to MOPARS

 

What happened at the Quickie Mart stays at the Quickie Mart

Any time you have a catostrophic failure and end up in your own laneway under your own power-The "Rod Gods" are with you.

 

JEFF.... I JUST GOTTA SAY IT AGAIN,,,,, YOU AND THAT CAR ARE FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!

You know what I say every year... "If you dont break something you aint trying hard enough"....... Well buddy, you and that car did it with style......

But Im not sure if you should hang the retired parts on the wall,

My wall is full of dead warrior parts and now I have a theory.....Im pretty sure the new parts see the old dead parts on the wall getting all the glory.... The new parts then get jeleous because they are doing all the work,,,,,,, before long the new parts collapse and devastation happens just so the can have a place on the wall..... Its a simple scientific fact.

Loved hanging out with your crew...... Build something BIG, see you next year!
