And here's a crazy fuck that rode these things. https://www.popsci.com/blog-network/vintage-space/john-paul-stapp-real-life-rocket-sled-man/ When the cloud broke, the test was on. The nine rockets behind Stapp came to life. In five seconds he reached 632 miles per hour, which is about Mach 0.9. Kittinger watched at the sled outstripped his T-33. Almost as suddenly as it started, the run ended. From the moment the scoops first dug into the water, it took just 1.4 seconds for the sled to come to a complete stop. This rapid deceleration translated to more than 40 Gs, making Stapp momentarily weigh 6,800 pounds as his body slammed forward. The force of the stop was the same that a driver would feel smashing into a brick wall at 120 miles per hour.

Holy shit that green Chevelle has zero clearance between the power brake booster and the valve cover

Shouldn't that read "Ricart is getting into the t-shirt business"?

Oddly enough I just saw one of these yesterday here in London but it was white. Noce looking car I'm sure it will be perfect for cruising.

Man they have some pretty cool rides but did you see how far that traffic was backed up? Man I'd be pissed if I was stuck in that.

If you want to learn about some of the ups and downs of the early space race and the family life these folks led I recommend Flight by Chris Kraft https://www.amazon.com/Flight-My-Life-Mission-Control/dp/0525945717 Failure is not an option by Gene Kranz https://www.amazon.com/Failure-Not-Option-Mission-Control/dp/1439148813/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=30KAMV6RNREE0NCQH692 Both can also teach you a thing or two about what being a good leader is, which is something the world seems to be lacking anymore

I've always loved the looks of the 928, keep us updated on your progress

Did this car used to be gold in color? I remember a 67/68 Camaro running around Columbus with a Reher Morrison big block in it back in the 90's

I don't think you can really go wrong with any of those choices

Oh man that's pretty cool

There used to be a gas station off of 23 on the north side I believe that would keep track of people's times around 270, not sure what the winner got but I always thought that was pretty cool. It would be interesting to see now what some of the faster times were

Maybe that's what he'll call the used car area. Lol

I'm surprised they don't have some kind of a on board fire extinguisher on those things, or at the very least an extinguisher mounted somewhere.

Ive got a nice edlebrock performer intake for a Ford 460 for sale that I have no use for. I'll even throw a windage tray in for the same motor if you're interested. Intake sells new for $300 I'd like to get $200 out of it, pm me here with your number and I'll text you some pics of it.

Apparently the owners of the old Cooper satdium property are cool with it but only for sanctioned events. As in you can't just stop by whenever you want. I expect this to be a total disaster of epic proportions. But it would be cool if they can pull it off.
