Rough day for TA's to be at MIR. Ten hours of driving and didn't even get off the starting line. Monday will be a fun day of pulling broken parts off my car. It was fun watching Chad almost **** himself twice though. That was an impressive 1.36 60' with the rear tires before it slammed back down.

After my first big wheelie my underwear just weren't the same. Hard to concentrate with **** in your pants
Kidding, but my nerves were pretty much shot after that. Plus launching the car off the t/brake at 4200 and the quick release wheel not being connected anymore was a bit un nerving. I did manage a 9.27 after that aborted pass which turned out to be the best for me all day. The next pass was the one that I felt her come apart and rattle.

My car ate the blower belt on the last pass, and it looks like the tensioner is broken as well. Oh well, could have been worse I guess. I still set personal bests in e.t, and 60'. I'm looking forward to getting some slicks, and leaving on the trans brake. Thanks to the guy who let me use the jumper box.
