Getting Back on Point..

Got a huge scare at Cecil County last November when a 9 second Nova blasted by with a Header Pipe, Collector and Muffler blowing off his car just before the finish line.

The advantage was the pieces were moving faster than my car.
It was enough time to dodge them at 104 mph in the traps.
One piece came at me like it had my name on it.
It pitched off to the right at the last second.

Have no problem with S/SS or regular Bracket cars.
But some race their Show Cars which have more power than common sense.
They have not done any testing and not ready for the track.

Fortunately my system is all welded as are most racers.
My 1969 Impala Header Collector were bolted together with a pair of Tabs.
