What Randy said... It's a tuning tool.

Thank heavens no! Yes, that's Byron Dragway, exactly a 60 minute drive from my house, but it's been 3 years since I've been there.

I think Del Worsham explained the importance of setting the bars in an article awhile ago. Pretty amazing actually. Not sure why it bugs you Jesse. Lifting the bodies on Funny Cars before a run must really make you crazy! (Just messin’ BTW)

Naw, but that pulling the wire off the second mag and fiddling with the barrel valve really drives me nuts

Many moons ago, Lions, big funnycar event. The Seaton's Shaker Chevelle come to the line, driven by Delmar Hienelt(SP) I believe. Went ot leave and stood straight up like in this photo. It stayed like that for what seemed like forever. Packed house and you could have heard a pin drop as everyone waited to see which way it was going to come down.. After a while, it came crashing down on the wheels, parts flying everywhere. Obviously they were finished for the night.
