Duct Tape Drags 2023: Flat Towing, Bus Adventure, and Missed Shift.

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I took the DIY Funny Car (Jeep) to the Duct Tape Drags in Tucson, AZ. Of course, just getting there was an adventure, because I decided to flat tow it behind the 1953 Kenworth Bus. Even though a lot of things went wrong, the important stuff went right. It was a big adventure!
I really appreciate David Freiburger for keeping this show going. I really like the atmosphere, and having my car judged by him and Steve Dulcich was one of the highlights for me.

    That bus is really cool, you've done a great job getting it back into reliable condition. And your backyard gasser is awesome, I think you should keep your eye out and try and horse trade yourself a big block for it. Or maybe turbocharging? I'd love to see the way you go about building a turbo kit with only used/free parts, your skillset and attitude makes for great learning and entertainment. Regardless, a great video from one of my favourite channels.

    I reckon a compressed air supercharging system could make a lot of power gains, and he's probably already got all the necessary bits laying around.

    Might look sketchy but in reality it’s pretty well put together. In comparison , Years ago they used “muffler molly” exhaust tubing for frame rails and roll cages in the early drags. “Wild Willie” Borsch of the “Winged Express” Top Fuel Altered was interviewed in a Hot Rod magazine article as revealing that back in the day they just used exhaust tubing or “muffler molly” as he called it, for frames and cages. If they wrapped it up into the wall they would just cut off the bent parts and weld in new exhaust tubing. Ready for the next weekend. Interesting story….. scary if true, but Willie Borsch worked at a muffler shop in LA in the 50’s-60’s so the story is probable.

    A total go-wrap... but myself, yah, think you could spend a bit more time on the bus as you're probably going to have and use it the rest of your days. TBH, 13 in that jeep is about 13 seconds faster than I'd want to drive it 🙂

    I used the Hopkins trailer light adaptors on several motorcycles, with no issues. My Nighthawk has 4" bus taillights (LED) added to the ammo box panniers & I wired them to be taillights, brake lights, and turn signals, with the stock (center) taillight wire cut (so it's brake light only}.

    Only the best. That Jeep will cream the competition once you work out the "bugs". (You are spot on; the inconsistencies were what "threw" your (mental) built in "shift sequence". It happens to us all, at one time and/or another. That engine is a monster. I know. I ride a ZX1400.)
