Re: Grenaded motor at shootout I will have some pics, but have to leave for Florida this morning on business through the week. This was on my second qual pass. The first qual pass, I fouled the tree and didn't get a time.
I had ARP rod bolts. I was not running ATAP. Had no issues on the syno with 150-shot, so I let the 200 rip. It ripped good until WHAM! And then I heard lots of parts bouncing under the car
