Arm Drop Live

Rich Christensen is bringing his Arm Drop Live version of Pinks All Out to Cedar Falls Raceway, which just happens to be my home track. No TV taping involved with this event. My car is one of the 400 entered, plus they are expecting over 5,000 to spectate. They are running it Sept 4 & 5. I think it will be a zoo but very interesting. Hope to have a bunch of fun!

Got picked for the high 9 low 10 second class. 32 cars we made it to the semi finals before the rear end broke. Pulled great wheelies every pass. Here's a short video my daughter took with her digital camera:

The rear is a 12 bolt Chebby with Richmond 5.14 Pro gears. Billet Strange caps, spool, Moser axles. It looks like the pinion bearing twisted and so did the pinion. Not as much carnage as I thought would be in there tho. If Quick Performance has everything, we will be in Byron for the BOP race next weekend . Also going to try 4.88s this time.

Almost forgot. That R & P was installed 5 yrs ago and bought used
