I was with the "Cool Fuel" team in the '58 'Stude running high 5's near 120. I wasted 10 minutes of everyone's time when the chute came out in the water box. My Valiant was also there, but I didn't run it. I have a separated torque converter and I'm too lazy to swap it out.
Anyways, take it easy.
No that wasn't me. My car's a calypso green coupe. The last time I ran in the Nostalgia was a couple years ago at BMP I had a yellow '64 Falcon with just a slightly worked 302. Ran 12.6x like clockwork. Good bracket car except I was king of the red lights. But that was me with the skinnies and mud tires.
You dumped the chute in the water box!!? Bwahahaha! I'll bet that was good for a lot of laughs. LAst time I had a chute, It was on my back. My car is far from needing anything but dragging my foot to slow it down.
