Found another Duesenberg Drag Race clip

[Hemi Joel]

It's a cold windy winter night, so I was cruising around thru my hard drive looking at fun summertime stuff, and just found a clip I didn't know I had. It is a shot from the Duesenberg Drag race in 2010 when I ran my '29 Convertible coupe against Clark Gables old supercharged roadster. The sound isn't the greatest, but I still like it enuff that I put it up on youtube. Feel free to shut it off right after the race so you don't have to listen to me being a goof ball for the camera.

WONDERFUL!!! I wish the sound was better - I could just barely hear the sound of those wonderful old engines. Is yours an SJ?

Cool that you kicked Clark Gable's butt!

When we getting video of your Yacht Club victory??

But the real important question is, when you richened it up did it go faster?

Dan you're right the sound needs help, and to me that's the most important part. I love hearing the roar of those big dohv straight eights. Now that I thought about it for awhile, I think thats why I didn't post it 3 years ago, the sound was to crappy because I filmed it off the TV with my cell phone camera.
TSB, sorry about the other video - the boys down at the yacht club had a little too much of the bubbly, and the disc fell into an open drum of beluga caviar and now it wont play.

I forgot all about that mixture adjustment. I was messing with it, all you do is turn a screw. But I don't remember what happened. I think I just wanted to get that in the video because everyone assumes that no one tunes there cars there like at a real drag race event.

THe Gable car is blown and should have beat me, but he was being very carefull and never reved it high enuff for the centrifical blower to make much boost. I've heard that they have to hit 4 grand before they make enuff boost to overcome the power it takes to drive it.
