Re: **** Thunder Shootout News **** Big congrats to all the winners at the shootout! There were some impressive cars there, as well as some impressive drivers. The whole Thunder crew did an excellent job, a big thanks to all of them, and all the locals who sat out the event to help run it.
Like it was mentioned above, I made one pass the night before...or I should say..part of a pass. The car hooked hard, and pulled skyward, I tried my best to pull it out, but I smacked hard, and broke my oil pan.
I can't thank some people enough for the help they offered to try and get my car running for the event. Madman..who's walked over and said "find an oil pan, and I'll have it running before morning!", and all of his crew. ALL of the SAM crew who pulled out their spare oil pan and offered it to me. JAVA, Tim, Coach, and many others who all offered tools,parts, a spare hand etc. Too many to name. In the end when the car went up on the jackstands, the more we looked the more damamage we found, and it was a little much to try and fix, and then safely run the car. Bottom line the LA members, are great folks and we look forward to coming back to meet em ( promise to try not to oil the track down next time! )
We pulled out a little early right as they started the awards. We wanted to get a little head start home. I was starting to get a little bummed out about breaking the car, and not being able to run. It was great meeting everyone, and I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet some others that were there. We'll catch ya next time.
Thanks again to everyone!
Larry
