Some type of root that you can eat im guessing
 
Carrot. two that got split grew from one seed. The tips broke off when Mrs Pute pulled it today.

I was a street racer. But in the end like most it ended up costing to much. Takes money to go fast. Plus you start breaking and that really costs money. Last I got tired of pulling the heads, #6 intake would burn plus checking the rod bearings for wear on the crank.
 
Yup. I would call my buddy that drove a tow truck, (jump start was 5 bucks back then) he would come over...I already had the intake off and heads off. Tow chain on couple of head bolts. He would pull up, lift motor out and set down on garage floor, where I would tear it down.

Later would hammer up a dead fall and hook an easy out to it. Then to the junk yard for double hump casting mark small blk chevy heads.

Rebuilt a few with bare block and tranny still bolted up. Honed cylinders, cleaned piston lands, replaced rings, new rod bearings and bolt it back up. Crankshaft never left the block.

Race motors got the full on tear down, tanked, magnafluxed etc. Replace whole balanced assembly. Speed costs money.

Racing aint cheap. I use to Street Race and the only good thing good was i knew how to rebuild my own engines.
You have to be able to do that. To expensive. I worked at a Pontiac, Chevy and independent shops back in the day. The Pontiac sponsored me. Drags on Saturday night and looking for a street race every other night....for a couple of years that was my life.

By the way that was a stock 390 Mustang....couldn't get into the 13's guaranteed. Any real street racer would blow the doors off that thing. And if you don't know what I just said and agree...you weren't a street racer.
