Default 2nd attempt for 10's

Well today was less crowded than yesterday, could have used a full tank of gas.

First run N/A with typical track prep

11.746 @ 116.60

N20 pass with 100 jets

Hit the button just before the tree, banged off the limiter going into second let off the button kept in the gas and it shifted into second. shifted to third and all was good untill all hell broke loose pop pop pop pop! Let off and coasted thru the traps with a 11.255 @ 118


Pulled into the pits and found the passenger side air injection bung broke off the header

Looks like it could be welded up in place? Anyone good at welding stainless steel? Would like to make it to the Punkin Bash
