Failure can just happen, regardless of inspection. Parts fail. What, do you sonic test your block and heads every week? Do you open the rear up and pull it apart? Do you rebuild the trans weekly too? Let me guess, you also have a full Rumul testing facility too, just to make sure everything is at 100%. Bragging about only breaking one thing doesn't make YOU any better than anyone else.

As has already been said, you took the new-ish comment the wrong way, it was only meant as related to this forum. I understand mechanics perfectly well, and without knowing any background you really shouldn't make assumptions. I also run a 7-second dragster at Island, and I'd really like to know who your friend is, because I guarantee he is a friend of mine as well. Weekly inspections only go so far, and you cannot tell me that equipment doesn't fail. You name me any of the drivers in super at Island, and I will tell you when they had something break. It happens.

I also have no idea if you get off on the name calling thing. Calling me ignorant and saying that I'm bragging about something is completely uncalled for. Nowhere in any of my posts was I "bragging." I stated a fact, to show that in all actuality, damage to run ratio is actually pretty low. I could "brag" about a lot of things, but I choose not to. If I didn't know how to drive, people would not come up to me and ask me to run their cars, either to see what the car will run, to jump into a gamblers race, or simply because they want to see their car go down the track. If I was ignorant, and didn't know how to drive, I wouldn't have been asked to drive a $100,000 pro-mod car, which I turned down because I didn't trust the mechanics on the car.

Enough with the name calling and derogatory comments. It's completely unnecessary in life and on this board, and are only used to make the person throwing them feel better about themselves.

That car was ****ing crazy

i like breaking **** too, like when i lost my balancer at island at the 1000' mark... that was a fun day..... good ole BBQs.

did that used to be a connecting rod?

sure was



dont lie though melissa, this is the third time you broke a ls1 t56 :(

at one time in its life. It decided it needed a room with a view, and windowed the oil pan of an 8 second 67 Camaro I was driving. I was around 1000' on the track, about 140 mph, and got the car stopped without hitting the guardrail. That was a wild ride I hope I never have to go on again. Oily 14" slicks are no fun to stop on.

holy crap; the only way i could tell was buy what was left of the bottom part.


...veddy nice...

Listen, the first time I broke your car, I wasn't even driving it. I didn't even sit in it. Your bird just spontaneously poops itself when I'm around :(

yeah........its heard of you from the other cars in the pits

only the strong survive ;)

hey, all the **** thats hit the fan, the motors strong at least, **knocks on wood**

BOOM :lol:

melissa LOOKED at my car at island last year and my car fell apart on the track... im glad i didnt have her drive it hehe :-D

I guess our friend is above apologies. And doesn't want me to know who his friend at my track is.

or didnt realize he was starting crap with a moderator/double sponsor

:rofl:

sometimes you step in it, other times you sink in it up to your neck and don't know what to do.

fine u want apologies here it is I ****ED UP. we are all human. stuff on both sides of the posts were taken the wrong way. good luck
