    What a hoot! Man, that's classic! You have to admit it was pretty ingenious. Too bad we didn't have video cameras back then; I'd love to see that.

    It WAS a hoot Jim. We could never believe it when they did it. Worst part now that I look back was that those cars being junked were pretty clean cars ranging from Model A's to '50 Fords, and everything in between. What the heck was I thinking!!

    Crazy

     



    About 20 years ago we where running a Super Pro car twice a week.
    One week we went to a drag-strip near Bethany Missouri and there was a car sitting with a hyd. jack under the rear-end idling about two feet of the ground with no jack stands under it.
    Let's just say we did not pit beside that guy.

    When I work on my cars, I always use the bumper jack. but I put a jackstand under it also, I lower it so both support the weight of the car.
