Default finally broke down the 10sec door. 10.9 @118 Blew motor

all this was a new best. h/c qa1 adj fronts / stock rear with lca, track wheels, full weight.

100 shot
60ft - 1.45
1/8 - 6.9
1/8 mph - 95
1/4 - 10.96
1/4 mph - 118

Motor
60ft - 1.57
1/8 - 7.3
1/8 mph - 92
1/4 - 11.4
1/4 mph - 115

Unfortunately my happiness was quickly smashed on the next pass when the motor let go. 0 oil pressure and an awful knocking sound

Yeah after I cut that 1.45 people were telling me they didn't think it'd take many more of those lol. Yeah it crapped out on a spray pass towards the end of the track. I'll post results whenever I decide to start on it.

Well that blows. Sounds like a rod bearing, Which maybe not to bad. Could do a forged 347 for not to crazy amount of money and spray it some more.

Damn that sucks about your car.... You might need to message a mod and ask for them to get you in the 10's club.

Any video's of the car going BOOOM!!!

Gratz making the 10's club

Ok I'll pm one. There's a video of the pass but nothing really happened. I just noticed my car not really pulling towards the end of the track, looked down an 0 oil pressure. Let out, awful knocking sound, stopped and shut car off, pushed it off the track. Game Over.

How much did you abuse that engine? How many passes? How many shots?
Congrats on 10s and dont worry you will be happy when you get it rebuilt or another engine!

Ya it was low mph, so I'm thinking the motor was already hurt. Then you went ahead and put the final nail in the coffin.

it was on a 100shot. it wasnt abused really. ive owned it 6 years and it WAS my dd. never got on it unless racing. never sprayed more than 100 shot ever. had 145k miles but i dont think that was a concern. so im not really sure what the cause was. here is a video someone made of that night. Im in the far lane against the white trans am on my 10.9 pass. the pass it let go on is @ 1:53 against the 2011 gt. hes on 150 shot. he also went 10.9 that night.

Something's not adding up. Tune maybe? What plugs were you running while spraying?
