I was in my car about two hundered yards from the path of this tornado yesterday afternoon on the grounds of my workplace. Here is a slideshow from the local newspaper. I was one lucky a$$hole

takes more energy to break the covielent bond between the oxygen and hydrogen then you get from the hydrogen, given current methods. No prepetual motion machines yet LOL
there is no downshift in my launch just the converter stall, I am already in second. Just to give you an idea my converter stalls to over 4800 on the transbrake at the track. I tune the nitrous progression untill I can barely see a traction loss on the logs. Its nothing that you can feel in the car, these things pull like a freight train.
I just got to watch the video. Nice! Anybody that thinks I wasnt on it at the start needs to watch my brake lights. I am brake stalling the converter from a roll trying to take the lag out. When I first started logging my rolls I had .4 of a second lag for the converter to flash. I have since gotten it down to .2 With a big stall you can brake stall the converter just like at the track. Im running about 30% tps dragging the brakes. and I floor it before lifting off of the brake.
I filled my car friday night on my way out. I refilled it saturday night same place. It only cost me 20$ in gas. I only burned 8# of nitrous. so maybe 40$. You and miller are the one that started it running your mouth about being quicker.
It finaly bored me until I yawned, not my fault lol
Shit im at work and you tube is blocked. can somebody tell me who won LOL
Now I have to wait untill i get home from dragway 42 to watch it.
Thanks for posting it up Sam.
I heard Sam get into it so i figured I had better get around that asshat in the white pickup. I forgot I had armed the nitrous and it kicked down into first. I had to stay in it untill I could get the ass end backaround or it would have snapped my neck off LOL
I wish we would have had some multi camera setups in the cars. That would have made some bitchin video.
What A great time it was dont even know who it was I was racing after we left easton, i was having so much fun next thing I know i realize im going toward dayton. I missed the exit for 71 lol. I think I surprized Hal, I was following him and Anthony while they raced and I came right up on his ass. LOL
