  • Things I Regret Saying

    I was looking at Mark Greens Beautiful Blown Hemi Cuda parked in the car show at Milan's Mopar Day. When I got done shooting a few shots, I asked him how fast it was. He told me he had never taken it down the track. I said "The tracks right over there, let me get a cool shot of you launching that beast" Before talking to me he would have been just going home with a Car Show trophy.

      Ouch...
      Well at least you got a few 'cool' shots there, and Mike has found the weakest link in his transmission... :o :o
      Glad everyone's OK and that it didn't happen at the 1000' mark for instance.

                The paint looked perfect once they cleaned off the powder. He had some holes in the floor pan to fix. The trans was in little bitty pieces all over the track. The run cost about 8 grand.

                    'the run cost'... which run? The 'photoshoot' you mean... ;D
                    Did the car even move at all?

                      And that's why they call them "show cars."

                            When I asked him if he was OK he looked at me and growled "I hope you got that, I ain't doing it again" When he took it home they showed his wife the car. She had never seen dust on it. She actually got weak in the knees. Then he showed her the photos of what had happened. She couldn't believe it. He's retired his helmet. It only took 30ft for him to decide Drag Racing wasn't his bag.

                              I'm an instigator, kinda like Woody Woodpecker. Can't really help it.
