Default NMCA race this weekend

This was the first event i have participated in with the nmca. I got there early friday, unloaded, teched in and took care of the contigency stuff. Testing was from 3-6, i pulled into the lanes made one pass then went back to the pit. the car ran fine on this pass i just wasnt used to the protree. second session i went up did my burnout, staged and made it about 500ft when all of a sudden i was doing a lot of steering and it sounded like i was in a helicopter. luckily i was able to keep it out of the wall as there was oil all over the tires. long story short, well kind of, do you think i can fix this?

Dang man. I know how much that can hurt. I was there all day yesterday and I was wondering why I only saw one white SS competing in the True Street class. Too bad I missed your run! Next time though.....

Bummer times two. Why can people ever break stuff on a T & T night when it doesn't cost as much, kills the weekend mojo (unless you drink and cheer on buddies).

Good luck getting her fixed!

the car ran 10.20's @ 132 last year on a 100.
yes it was expensive, $160 for the weekend and the car grenades on the second testing session. atleast it was my home track and i didnt have far to get home.
