The Mach 1,
We were on power tour out of Detroit going into Chicago,when it came apart on the expressway,next to a cement wall in the high speed lane.
We still have one of the bent rods,it's bent 90o.
That was a ride to get it stoped.

I ran a VW powered drag car in late 70s. It broke a rod at about 8500rpm on the starting line at the last yellow. Opened a hole about 8 in. square in top of block. Saved the headers & Webers, not much else .

Not mine but one that was on one of the car forums but can't remember which one. Split right down the middle. Think it might have been to much NOS.

Seen a Top Methanol Dragster do that over here, team put the block on display in their pits area. I think their reaction was "whoops"
