Bir Was Fun, Any Word On The So?

[Raptor]

Jim, Ryan, Swanny and I all had a ton of fun at BIR this weekend, nothing like the feel of 16,000 HP taking off right in front of you. Pretty cool stuff.

Now that all that is done, anyone know any results from the SO?

16,000, wholly hell. BTW, did they ever even finish last years shootout video?

8,000 + 8,000 = 16,000

Cher had all of the video from last years SO, but nothing ever came of it.

If anyone has footage (of anything) I will gladly hack it up and choreograph it to some music.

chris carey, didnt have the best time down at the SO, but i will let him explain that to you when he gets back tomorrow.

yeah 16000hp is loud. You don't hear it, just feel it :).
Until you've seen top fuel and nitro funny cars go at it, you haven't been drag racing.

spuh? were you in a cone of silence? how can you not hear 240 db?

I have seen a 4000hp funny car, it doesnt matter how loud it is, its the vibration threw your body that makes it what it is. I also heard you can hear the top fuel guys from over 30miles away when their racing.

The track was definately fun! BIR + Babes Intoxication & Racing

Thats too bad to hear about Chris's manifold, I had hoped it would hold together for at least a couple passes, but I am pretty sure it's life is over for good. Not sure what they made it from, but it definately wasn't 321.

240 db would explode the heads of everybody there.160 db will pierce eardrums, 240 db is 10 million times louder than 160 db.

what was it for every 3db the noise is doubled ...
