<div id="yiv9633473551">
<div>Yo My Peeps,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here is one more reason I don’t brag about crossing the finish line on fire. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Some of of you know of him as Crazy Dave 3 (CD3) but most of you have never met him or even know of him except as a fellow ORR Veteran who ran Unlimited for many years. He’s been a friend for many years ever since he borrowed racer tape from me at Pre-grid which is another story😂</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The story and photos below will give you some appreciation of just how crazy CD3 is or used to be when he was younger. </div>
<div>Dave is the real deal...a legend if you will.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As the saying goes a good friend will drink and fight for you but a better friend will go to jail with you.... and that is the kind of guy CD3 is. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yea trying to get him back to SORC, BBORR OR SSCC. In either case the next time I am in Colorado I will be eating his food and drinking his beer because that is also what good friends share.</div>
<div>😉</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Read below and enjoy.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Mad Dawg, who saw headers and other Pantera parts on fire. And I did it first CD3.</div>

<div class="yiv9633473551MsoNormal">OMG…..all these years……I NEVER put two & two together!!!</div>
<div class="yiv9633473551MsoNormal"><b><i>YOU & I……are likely the Only two in ORR…..to be on fire as we crossed the finish line!!!!!</i></b></div>
<div class="yiv9633473551MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt;background:yellow;">YOURS was legendary!!!</span></b></div>
<div class="yiv9633473551MsoNormal">BBORR 2008: I had an engine bay fire developing for last 20 miles….& the heat was right in front of me!!!!! I even slowed to 170 for most of that…..to try ( in vain ) to keep the heat off & try to last!!! It got soo hot it was bubbling
paint off center of dash in front of me!! Three gauges started to melt & droop out of their sockets!! I normally ran 6 psi gas pressure. Circuits were shorting out…..& I kept switching one fuel pump to another…..just to maintain 3 PSI!! ( I had two systems)
</div>
<div class="yiv9633473551MsoNormal">I told Dan Stoltenberg to stop reading me course notes. I wasn’t soo fast to really need them!!</div>
<div class="yiv9633473551MsoNormal">“Keep telling me How Far to the finish line!!’</div>
<div class="yiv9633473551MsoNormal">He asked why!!??</div>
<div class="yiv9633473551MsoNormal">I said: “I have no idea when I might have to shut this car down…..& at this speed….I can make it coast 3 miles if I have too!!”</div>
<div class="yiv9633473551MsoNormal">When he finally said we were four miles out, I decided to give it all she had!! We crossed the finish line @ 196 mph!! Engine was sounding awful…..but we made it!!!</div>
<div class="yiv9633473551MsoNormal">I let off…..& within 50 yards it was sputtering & DEAD!!! I shut everything down, put it in neutral, the fire….died with the engine!!
</div>
<div class="yiv9633473551MsoNormal">I told Dan to start unbuckling while we were still above 150 mph!! I knew with his handicapped hand he would take longer than me!!</div>
<div class="yiv9633473551MsoNormal">We went past the police a little over 100 mph…….& We coasted ALL the way to Zero Stone Park……& pushed on the brakes to stop from 5 mph……right exactly at rear bumper of my trailer!!!!</div>
<div class="yiv9633473551MsoNormal">Dan & I got out HOOTING & Hollering!!!!!!</div>
<div class="yiv9633473551MsoNormal">We made it!!!</div>
<div class="yiv9633473551MsoNormal">A few minutes later…..we found out Charlie had shut down mid course for an oil pressure problem!!</div>
<div class="yiv9633473551MsoNormal"> When I got home we found out what happened!! A header pipe had blown out right in front of my knees!!! ( fatigued after getting red hot soo many times.) Those pipes wrapped behind the engine. The hole was bigger than a football where
heat was melting thru the first firewall….& was shorting out the wiring & burning anything it could!! When the engine failed all together…..the heat had gotten soo bad going thru the transmission tunnel…..it was melting all the wire insulation & burning!!
Final failure…..it melted thru the main starter cables behind the transmission & shorted out the battery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</div>
<div class="yiv9633473551MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv9633473551MsoNormal">For my efforts….I got this!!!</div>
<div class="yiv9633473551MsoNormal">Would I do it again….HECK YES!!!</div>
<div class="yiv9633473551MsoNormal">My day was NOT legendary like yours…..but similar to yours…..it was a moment to remember!!!</div>
