I just got home from racing today at the SSOTN Spring Nationals held in MD. I went there with the hope of running an 11 second pass and retiring the car from drag racing forever. Well... let's just say it didn't happen, but it can't get much closer. I ran a 12.03 at 112mph! Now for the bad news... I missed 4th on my last run and while trying to force it in I hit 2nd gear at about 80mph... things wen bad in a hurry and the motor pegged the tach, locked up the rear tires for a split second, and I hurt the motor. I'm still in disbelief that I did this, but unfortunately I definitely hurt something. I just hope its something simple like a rocker came off or I bent a pushrod as I have no funds right now to redo anything else. Keep your fingers crossed for me guys. I feel like such a idiot :damnit: ... I STILL can't believe I freaking did this, but I am gratefull that I was quick enough with the clutch to avoid losing the car when the tires locked up for a split second.
So now what... you all know there is no way in hell I can call it quits being this close to the 11's now. Its going to be a long summer as I plan my next move though, that I can guarantee! I'll put up pics and a video later as I'm to tired to do it now.
