Saw this and for some strange reason thought of a certain DTR member.
Take a look at:

Don't give him any more ideas! The boy is delusional enough! He don't need more ideas!

Seems to me we got blasted in the coffee room for "mindless talk needing an IQ of 51 to understand". I'm not so sure this thread needs an IQ higher than a snail to understand.

Sorry Stan, I could not help myself. I'm not very smart.

 

Hey those things are neat!! I saw a special on the TV about tool drags a while ago and it looked cool!
Plus, thing about it, souping up a skil saw or angle grinder to take to the track is a lot cheaper than a CTD or Camaro!

 

Those guys are pathetic. What a bunch of nerds.

Half of the things couldn't even get the thing through the loop at the end of it. Give me a break.

"I use a beercan so the die grinder vibrates off"... Pathetic.

I could do far better.

(In other news, anybody ever light off a 2 liter bottle filled with acetylene at 60 PSI? )

 

You need to try balloons with a mixture of 02 & acetylene. A good brazing flame will do. Tap the flame out on concrete, fill balloons, use masking tape as a fuse. Just make sure you are 100 feet away. Plug ears.

 

Balloons get old. Pressurized 2 liter bottles are where the real fun is at.

(Thank God to the man that decided to let Cactus Cooler bottles be compatable with garden hose fittings. )

 

Tractor tire inner tubes, THAT'S where the real fun is. Throw 'em on a bonfire an' get outta the way!

chaikwa.

 

Where is begle1 going to find a bonfire in California much less a tractor inner tube to throw on it??

 

i seggest look up the very very very very unstablity of such a gas... i mean it can randomly explode if its volume is greater than i think 2 cubic feet! there alot more to the gas cylender than just metal and gas... much more!

so i seggest no mr begle1. i dont want to hear abouot you on the news! thanks

 

pffft. 2 liter + dry ice + water = real fun

 

Good lord whatever happened to plain old gas and matches

 

I would have to agree with that!!!!

 

Where do I find a bonfire?

We got the biggest bonfires in the world out here, man.

 

We are talking about open fires, not charcoal Weber grills cooking sushi with tofu, or the latest fad food. We're talking FIRE. You can't have open fires in SOCAL.

 

That's right.
Go to Huntington Beach or Bolsa Chica on a summer night you can see the flames from Beach Blvd.

Also manure fires.
Forrest Fires..
Rail Car Fires...
Riots....
Hmmm what about that Esperanza Fire?

A certain stupid person I unfortunately know used BIG Hefty trash bags filled with acetylene gas and oxygen. It would shatter windows when they went off.
They also carried them full in the front seat of their truck.

But it was a FORD
