Well i will keep it simple.... I blew the motor up in the second session of the day on sat (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)
I just had this motor rebuilt 10T mile's ago (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) A few rod's went through the Canton pan! I will post some pic's later, but im sure all of you have seen hole's before! Im just in a daze still.........I expected something to happen(do this) just not the motor! I WAS still the fastest guy on the track, turning a 1:37.5 a lap before she went! |

I was losing power right before she went, but i thought it was the computer pulling the timing back becuase she was running hot, it was about 95+ that day. Than she just popped coming out of 4 which is downhill putting oil all over the tire's into 5 (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I held on to her through 5 knowing that there was a Z06 behind me that had been trying to keep up. So after i got her straight I pulled off at the turn station at 6, hoping she wouldn't catch fire. It took me about 30 to 45 second's to get out of the car, becuase I could not see the latch style lap belt! But I felt ok becuase I was wearing my 3 layer suit, balaclava, glove's, shoe's and the neck support (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
