there were a bunch of good ones!
I was looking forward to seeing your small block scream!! I was afraid to ask, but since you posted it... I was behind you and just out of the picture when it poooped.. ouch! Hope not too much damage!
We had a good time and the track was great!! (a little too good for RoHo! lol)

If I hadnt hit the NOS motor purge while trying to turn off the switches, everything would have been fine. I think I had the timing set too low and that is what caused it to stall out on the transbrake. I watched the video back and just before I released the brake the engine stalled out, you know the rest of the story. I move the purge switch so that this never hasppens again. Makes me sick to look at that $1600 CSU carb blown in half :cry: :cry:

Got everything ready to go back together, hopefully we will make the Charrelston race this weekend.

Thats a good question but really you dont break as much as people think if you can keep your nose clean. I love racing period any kind but dirt track racin is different cause you go out for hot laps or practice and the track is muddy you go back out for your heat its dry and dusty and you have change your whole set up and driving style :wink:
