Tom Hoover comes over to us, (Hawiian Punch car) with pieces of this junk crank in his hands.............one F'ing run He says. 4 grand for one run.
Some of the really used up stuff ends up as autographed collectables sold at the t shirt trailers, at national events , some ends up in Nostagia Funny Cars, some is just left at the track for fans to pick up.
I like the shelves of "new used" parts, what are "New Used Parts" you ask? thoses are the ones that have had the limit of runs on them but still look good and are still with in spec, they get put in the motor or clutch, heads or blower when all the new stuff is used up blown up or just run out of.....to make that last HaleMary pass to get into # 16 spot, and hope The JFR or DSR car you draw in the first round shakes or smokes or goes red.
