Thanks for the posting the videos Justin. It sure did look like the motor blew up. lol
Tim, the car wasn't too loud when we took it off the trailer. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Steve, we'll get your motor in real soon. It will be great to see you back racing again. It has been WAY too long.

I forgot to mention earlier that the torque arm actually did break at the starting line. They found one of the top torque arm bolts on the ground after I launched. It was sheared in half. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> I'll get a pic of the bolt later.

Thanks Coach! There is nothing like changing plugs on a motor after someone just made a pass in it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />
I'll let you know regarding the Star Wars mod. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I was able to access the damage a little better tonight with the car up on jack stands. I have about a 2" dent in the bottom of my floor pan where the tq. arm bracket hit when it bent upwards. It also did some damage to my parking brake. This, along with the new tires/rim I had to buy, was an $$$ trip to the track. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

My jaw dropped when you told me that you had just run an 11.25! You could've cleaned up in SS/M! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I was glad that you were able to get the car stopped without any injury to you or major injury to the car. You did an awesome job handling the car. I know of a few guys that slammed on the brakes when they blew a tire across the finish line, and they weren't so lucky. I was really hoping to see you make a pass; I've watched all of these videos over the years and wanted to see it in person! The new setup is going to be SICK. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> You'll have that car solidly in the 10's very soon.

Thanks! Tony, just like you posted before, these is nothing like leaving the line at 6k rpms on a manual car. I can only imgagine what Judson's car feels likes. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> I'd pay to make one pass in that beast.

Thanks Trevor. I think I could have done pretty well in that class. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
I'm hoping to get to the track with the new setup in the next week or so. The motor goes in at the end of this week.
