Hank was that the engine that Douglas blasted into so many tiny pieces that he sold the car? I think some shrapnel beat him to the finish line. I was really fast while it lasted
Yes it was fast & it was not even all sorted out.
What took the engine out was what Mike Kirby & I believe is that the right drivers side front of the engine block let go in a big way & took the whole engine out along w/it.
As some know, that is the week link of the standard low deck engine block.
His last pass was a 8.6 @ 165 MPH blowing up way before the end of the 1/4 mile.
Douglas had said it was on a 7 second pass.
