Default Track outing in the cobra *Video*

Well Im on a quest for 10s with the 6 speed and put some slicks on to try and get there. First pass it started walking all over the top end so I let out in 3rd and was worried about the swaying and missed 4th lol.

Second pass felt great until the top of 4th when it started missing and shut off....followed by a smoke show.

Towed back to the pits and I think the drivers valve cover gasket blew cause there is oil all over the place including the spark plug holes. Ill mess with it in a little bit and try and get back before i go auto. Gotta pay to play I guess, but i figured the V would have broken before this at the track lol.

Here is a vid, 11.2@126 with the car shutting off at around the 1000' mark.

I hope that you're lucky and didn't hurt anything, but that doesn't sound good.

Looks like you were on a decent pass till that happened. Good luck with it, I hope it's not major.
