Close: Sheered all the lug nuts on left axle.
We had just torqued them down and checked
prior to the pass.
Very Heavy truck (Running 11's) and I should have used 5/8 wheel lugs not
the 1/2 lugs.
Tough lesson that I will not every forget!
Son of David have mercy on all you pitiful servants!
My name is John Irving and I am running a 71 Demon 340 in SS/JA
and a 78 Aspen Wagon in L/SA.
My son is Jon Irving and he is running a 71 Demon 340 in D/SA and a
71 Duster 340 in SS/KA.
I was on the covers of both Hot Rod and Car Craft
the very next month. Also, the full back page of Hot
Rod and the center two pages of Car Craft.
The truck was the current N/SA National Record Holder
at that time. I let my friend set the record the week before
as he had always wanted one and...
Because of rain forecasted, There will be NO TIME TRIALS and
right into first round in the morning. Random Pairings and no ladder.
No Heads Up races either.
Hope my Chrystal Ball is working right.

It has been a while since I have seen them

in a wreck and cut his head clean off on the rear package tray.
It bounced right down the track with his helmet still on it.
It would not be my first choice =...
My boy took several bumps because his lights were .030 about.
He wanted an 00 or 01.
I told him that helped his reaction time BUT hurt his ET exactly as
much so he did not get to the finish any sooner but exactly the same
either way.
Also, he gambled on Red Lighting more by going in deeper...
We raced our 340 71 Duster against our friends
Loge and Stein Racing ( One of the very best full
engine/dyno shops in the West ).
Big Nasty headwind!
Both cars go .80 plus under in sub optimal cotions.
Their car surprises us and outruns us almost 2 1/2 Hundreds.
Last time we raced at Arizona...
Let us know if we can help in any way.
Perhaps look at parts for you down here.
We do a lot of traveling to the races and get around.
At least you are physically OK.
The wreck in my truck at Winternationals, I broke several
ribs and they damaged my Kidney so bad it took a 12 Hour Surgery...
This is the exact unit that I use on my 69 Valiant 440
Street/Strip (10 Second in 1/4 as street driven).
I have found it to be the most stable for timing of anything
that we have tested (That is about everything). It is a simple
foolproof one red and one wire hook up. No externa lControl box...
No Worries.
50 years ago, I had a shirt that said this on it:
"If it has Tits or Tires = You are going to have Troubles"!!
Some things never change over the years.
