Well i crashed the f-bomb on thursday.Espn was shooting the car for Hot Rod tv we rented the Camarrilo Airport to back drop the Bomb against some b17/24/25 Bombers We were having great fun laying out 1000 ft burnouts on the tar mack .We decided to race a high 11 second ferrari to gauge the car We put a city block on the ferrari Only to realize we couldn't stop it in time.We came out lucky with minor damage heres Some pics http://namtramedia.com/clients/nre/ftp/116small.jpg http://namtramedia.com/clients/nre/ftp/119sml.jpg http://namtramedia.com/clients/nre/ftp/121sml.jpg

so did the frontrunners blow due to locking the brakes? Or due to hitting the barrier? Perhaps better tires are in order?

Man that sucks!

Question 1: Why were you driving and not Frieburger?
Question 2: Why didn't you pop the chute?

Not criticizing at all, just curious.

Chute wasn't operational.This was the first time the car was actually able to stretch its wings a little since i had only driven it Dave felt better that i drive it.The tire popped when we locked them up.

That sucks! Another cool car, too! I guess if this bad mojo is only striking the cool cars, mine's safe!

Damn, that sucks! Luckily, it doesn't appear the paint job is super expensive to repair ;)

Wow, this is a bad week for kick ass cars. If I had mine on the road I would probably be a little worried about now.

Why the front skinny's on a car built like that?

Guessing Freiburger doesn't love the protouring look so much? He must have wanted a more "10.5 tire" drag car look?

The Car is in the drag stage thats the first thing we will do with the car.8.50 ets while driving it everyday.After that Budnik is going to make some custom rims 345/35/18 in the back 275's in the front and we will set it up for silverstate/maxon etc..
