Now that it's over and you can breathe again, lets see some of the aftermath pictures. I'm particularly would like to see McConnells beer can intake runners.

Right front tire for SEERED was near FAIL, but DIGINLIF (yellow pro street mustang) came to the rescue and donated a wheel and tire to the cause. Wheel would not fit so the hand dismount, remount was on in the pits and I asked how fast can we go on this tire? I was told about 130?? or so and then we ran 150 at Tulsa to verify it was a good tire. Last year it was rear tires and trailer tires, this year it was front tire issues.HOTROD Dragweek Pro Street N/A winner 2007,2011, 2012/ 2nd, 2009

You can see Mike Crows 1.5 Mopar 15* rocker on the ex. on #5 Thanks for the loan mike there is a new roller lifter hanging from the wire I drop on what was left of the cam for the last pass on 7 cylinders or so. Also notice the #7 broken intake rocker back at the pushrod. This was a supprize Saturday when I went to fix the lifter to run.
Randal may have pictures of the Bud light cans we cut up. I took these and Hot Rod or some one posted these I stole from a Jake postLast edited by JeffMcKC; September 22, 2012, 07:15 PM.2007 SBN/A Drag Week Winner & First only SBN/A Car in the 9's Till 2012

that picture might scare small children(kidding), these are the things that you cannot explain to your buddies at home, drag week means something different to each person, to me its the truest test of man and machine but in talking to several different people it was funny how drag week was more than the persuit of a jacket, the best story was from Blake (red ford truck - the Marine) who said that drag week was as close to the rush and the sense of comradery that he got in Afghanistan (sans being shot at).

Daughter's 5th nitrous pass of her life, learning what happens when you short shift to 2nd with a tight converter and a suspect ignition system on the bottle.
Or learning how nice it is to have Uncles who can have you back on the road in 3 hours...one or the other.
Ever notice how most people look 10 years older in any photos taken after Wednesday or so?

Well, at least the Blazer finished its sixth Drag Week in a row. I'm glad we only needed one pass on "finals" day...
It wasn't running on all eight during our last "blower belt on" 9.20/138/1.34 pass.
It was hurt but it finished. It drove back to the pits, it drove on the trailer & limped into the garage at home.
I started pulling it apart last week.
The picture below is the "pile" I have to remove to pull the engine...
Pulled the heads and found both head gaskets blackened between all pairs of cylinders. There was MLS material gone is three locations. Shown below is the "gap" that was between #5 & #7.
Below is the picture of the combustion chamber "window" between #5 & #7. It explains the cloud of "death smoke" it belched out of the left exhaust at the 1000 ft. mark (in Bob's video of the pass).
It's slightly wounded but it did good....
