Someone posted this on Facebook. I thought the Manure Spreaders would enjoy it.

 

Cool stuff! Just a little bummed, though, they didn't have the timers running. Would love to see the numbers on those runs.

 

Did he do those runs with a 3-speed on the column? that was fun to watch.

 

Flathead six, isn't it?

 

Wow!!
That's quite a run

 

It got me thinking of what I could do in the F-2 with the rebuilt 226 and double clutching. I'd be I could get an easy 55 mph at the end of the track!

 

And he had a stock steering box? That was awesome!!

 

On the first run I thoiguht he was gonna lose it.

 

Yeah, he did lose it for a minute, fortunately he caught back up on his steering before anything bad happened.

("Got behind on his steering" was a phrase race car driver Ken Shrader used to say, which always made me chuckle, when describing someone losing it on the track and hitting the wall. )
