Re: New project

Well I had a points lead in super pro / box class going into this weekend . We rain delayed until about noon and they put us a great track together . After second time trial I was changing my 2 step point from 3900 to back to 3600 . and forgot to disconnect the fuel pump. Hydro locked the motor with fuel . Pulled the plugs , and blew the fuel out , but man it started smoking . I worked my way down to 12 cars in super pro or box class Saturday night . Got up sunday thinking I was headed into a good day of racing . Well that went down hill quick . Appearently o broke the starter bolt off in the block by the outside ear . and the second bolt bent right after first round . I was double teched in no box/footbrake and box class . And was the last car up there . We rolled upder the tower and I crawled under the truck and held the starter in place while a buddy started it up . I was rattled badly and in a rush to get suited up and belted in . I was .039 to his .013 and went 6.424 on a 6.41 dial . he slid across the finish line with the front brakes locked for the win. I jacked it up and got the broke bolt off and a new set of bolts put in . Last car in the staging lane for round 2 in super pro . Ended up being .010 red . Brought it back to the pits and when I killed it and it hydro locked again . Found the back float stuck open.
