his new challenger, cacklefest, or whatever. You guys rock!

I don't know how they have the restraint to keep from doing a burnout and at least a half-pass. The temptation must be overwhelming!

Nice job, Chad - just like a REAL journalist.

Dammit, someone rent a track and let ?em run all out.
It is akin to castration. >

Unless the track operator is self insured or has a hankerin' to lose his sanction and insurance, you'll never see another "old" slingshot make a full pull. They can run 1/8 mile, but unless they have a modern drivers' area cage instead of the old 3-pointer, cackling it is.

Another point to ponder.

You have to rember that all the cars you are seeing in the Cackle deal are running factory Iron blocks. Hemis, big block Chevys, even small blocks. These aren't billet or forged aluminum jobs and are fragile as a mother. One of the cars actually broke a rod in half cackling and proceeded to launch the breathers out of the valve covers. One shot more than 20 feet into the air and crashed down onto the track. Chad picked it up and delivered it to the team after the action. The other launched either into or over the crowd.

If that kind of stuff happens while sitting still without any load on the motor, having one shatter like glass at 150-200mph would be REAL bad.

Great video. I agree the HD makes it great. Watching it on my 23 inch Samsung HD monitor on the 720 setting and crank up the surround sound and I got a woody. ;D

The only thing I miss about the good old days is the good chance of getting killed. Thanks for the safety equipment and the rules
