Oooh, yeah -- that just makes me look forward all the more to getting back out on the salt this year.  Thanks for posting.

Blown Fuel Hemis (small or big) operate at a different frequency. It's the "deep guttural growl zone up to the atmosphere and back" where few have been. I've got some good audio clips of Betsy on a calm morning, but I haven't edited and converted them yet.

Here's another good one, a very short get-r-done and shut down pass from the 411 at Speedweek.

I remember the first time I saw Harry Jr leave the start line, it impressed the crap out of me. We were at the -1 1/2 down by the poles. Betsy was warmed up, Nolan & Vesco were there, Nolan ran first. You guys fired & I'm thinking somebody forgot to get the push truck lined up. Harry just poped it into low, spun the tires a bit & left on a 370 something run. Direct drive TH400, right?
So what is Gale putting in there, a Duramax?

The car is at Cooks getting for  a Duramax at this time. Should be a awesome piece when done and running.
