At Speed Week 2011, the HOT ROD/So-Al Racing team killed a few pistons on the very first run when the blown big-block swallowed a carb vent tube. We gave up on running 250-plus mph and re-entered a small-displacement class, F/CBFALT. We got the engine to run on two cylinders and set a record at 32 mph. This is the backup pass. Watch as the the push truck shoves off too slow. Freiburger downshifts to try and keep it running, then Turk realizes what's happening and shoves harder before turning off at the 1-mile and sending the two-banger Camaro down the track.
