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!
