This photo was taken at about 450' as we were marching down the track to the 5.84 second ET at 242 MPH that qualified us #8 at the NHRA Arizona Nationals in Feb. 1998. In the background is former national event winner John Hyland playing tag with the guardwall. Photo by John Pattison (c)1999	Just about half track, the car is really up on the tires and making tracks for the finish line. This is also on the 5.84/242 run at the NHRA Arizona Nationals in Feb. 1998. Photo by John Pattison (c)1999
And finally, a final shot as the car is at about 800' on the 5.84/242 run. Photo by John Pattison (c)1999	Here is a shot of the very ugly 1st round matchup with Bret Williamson at the NHRA Arizona Nationals in Feb. 1999. At this point our car was shaking badly and is about to kick the rods out of the motor. Based on the fact that Bret's car looks like it is heeled over on its right side, he's having problems too.

This is what she looked like after the blower explosion. Note the blower is no longer attached to the manifold, the burned up blower bag and the gaping hole where the burst panel should be. Photo by John Howard.	Blake Johnson is "Mr. Clutch". Here he muscles the clutch machine back into the trailer. This machine re-surfaces the discs and floaters after every run. Photo by John Howard.
