Finally made it to the track......

Post by cjthor »

Well on Friday I went out to the track finally. Left everything in the car including the spare and speaker box. I also left my 17s on since that is what I use on the street. Best time of the night was 15.07. I had some major traction issues. Last run of the night I had a serious malfunction. Check it out. Please exuse the profanity.

You're a true driver Jarid. i think most people would have freaked out and slammed on the breaks, let alone finish the race. thumbs up.
were there any other problems? you mentioned traction but i thought you'd be hitting 12/13's out the box...

Holy crap jarid, thats really sad to have seen that happen. Is your roof okay? Fixable? I hope it is, I wonder how the hood pins malfuncioned like that. Maybe one broke loose while your wheels were spinning or something.
