oops my phone died I was saying I took it out for a test run got home and two of my air cleaner gaskets were down the throat of my Center carburetor, I wonder why it was idling fast LOL
The final straw for drag races at Monroe was due to an air cleaner gasket getting sucked into the carb. It was drag racing on a 3/8mi oval, from turn 1 in the direction of turn 4. Guy made a pass without the air cleaner and the gasket got sucked in, hanging the throttle. That 100mph right hand turn in a drag car with a spool, skinny front tires, and a hung throttle wasn't something he could do. Went off the end of the track and hit a pile of dirt, then went all Dukes of Hazzard without sticking the landing.
