It was Spencer........It seats the clutch while putting heat through it while warming up the engine as well. Ive been around Snakes for years and i still to this day love seeing the fans and how they react (before they fall on their asses) when the throttle gets whackedA fuel car was doing 3 throttle whacks during their warmups all weekend.
I never did find out what car it was as I was in the stands a lot.
Anyone know?
Wonder what it does to the clutch pack.
it's only twice here - but someone in norwalk this year
with amazing sound on their camera.

My computer speakers hate me.....
They might hate you even more if you play this one: YouTube - David Grubnic Top Fuel Warmup
I think I've watched that about 10 times in the past hour.
This one sounds really good too, lots of bass you don't normally hear on YouTube: YouTube - NHRA 2008 Testing Phoenix
Was Glen Mikres tuning for anybody last weekend? He always wacks it three times.

I've seen Glenn tune cars in America, Australia and Europe, and I've never heard either car he's tuned whack it 3 times.

I have worked with Glenn before,the three whacks is his signature.
Thanx Mr. Massey, Jerry and Ken!
Many of the teams stopped the throttle whacks,
so when I heard a car doing 3 of them, it was like "whoa! who is that?"
Donnie and Todd must have found something. Pretty cool.
Paul you just made me realize how bad my memory is getting because i can not even remember how many times we seated the clutch on a warm up when Glen was tuning Bodes car. I can not even remember how many we did on a warm up when Wayne was tuning Bode. I must be getting old.Was Glen Mikres tuning for anybody last weekend? He always wacks it three times.
