The Ricers around here have taken to forming "clubs", this
one club that has
been my favorite target is called "Beyond Reality". One dude
installed NOS
on this ricer over the weekend and tonight pulls up next to
me on RT 1&9,
starts to show off(bouncing the car,racing the engine). Now
anyone in their
right mind would know somethings up,right? So did I. Light
turns yellow I
bring the RPM's up to 1500 for the launch, light goes green
I dump the
clutch and take off, we do not even go 20 feet when I hear
this BOOM, not
your ordinary BOOM, but F*CKING BOOM. and I hear something
hitting the cap.
So pull right into the gas station on the corner to see
what's up (knew it
wasn't me!). The dude coasts in minus a hood and lots of
smoke!! The dude
blew his head clean off the block!!!!! I mean GONE! (BTW the
what was
hitting the cap was oil and pieces on there way back down).
Dunno where the
head went to, didn't want tohang around long enough to find
out (you know
those siren noises off in the distance). Nobody was hurt
(except for an
engine, and an ego or two). Dude said he "just put it on",
no adjustments,
nothing! Thinking of making a blast shield..
