The Bone Bucket Is Back (NITRO ALTERED), Mitch King Has To Hot Lap For His Licence!

Mitch King's Bone Bucket has not been seen in several years, but it returned at Texas Motorplex where Mitch was renewing his licence. But before he could get into the Bone Bucket, he needed to make a run in NHRA racer Terry Haddock's Top Fuel dragster!
With that complete, he was able to go for an eighth mile pass in the Bucket. It was a fairly conservative run but hopefully we see more of the Bone Bucket this year as Mitch has just had his 60th birthday. To celebrate he tied this NITRO Altered to the ground and did a burnout!!
Let him know what you think of that awesomeness in the comments.
The Bone Bucket is one of the coolest nitro (fuel) altereds in the world. It's almost scary just how basic this car is, given how much power it produces (the engine is one of Mitch's old Top Fuel motors!). Don't let the rough appearance fool you - this car has been 5.5s in the quarter mile! Drag racing can be like that - never underestimate based on looks. This car has even done some rad fire burnouts. We didn't see that at Funny Car Chaos/Nitro Madness but who knows, maybe we will get lucky later this year!
So what is an Altered? It depends on who you ask! A modern Altered is basically a Funny Car chassis with an open body, which results in reduced aerodynamics and harder to control handling. A nostalgia Altered will have a shorter wheelbase than a modern Altered, which makes them even tougher to steer again! A short wheelbase can make you more prone to a crash or accident, but for a lot of drivers they are more exciting. That said, you're unlikely to see an old Top Fuel motor like this in a nostalgia altered!
