I forgot to mention, there's a portable chassis dyno on site for every Car Craft event, and on Saturday afternoon they were making a pull with a street rod on the bottle that was making almost 1,000 RWHP. During the pull, it broke the straps an ALMOST went off the dyno. The operator managed to stop is as it went part way over the edge. I was about a block away at the time, but the guys I was with were there watching it and said it was chaos as people scrambled to get out of the way. They started doing pulls about an hour and a half later, but the area in front of the portable dyno was blocked off. Crazy stuff.
Oh yeah, and it was HOT. At 5pm, my truck said it was 97 degrees.
