Re: Mayhems 71 Nova
LOL, yeah, I had a buddy here tell me the same thing. His kid ran a JR rail and had similar times.
That's amazing, and kind of defeating at the same time. My reaction times were terrible. But my only defense is street tires, foot brake, etc. Slicks are coming and hoping early March will be warm enough to return, on trailer, with race fuel, etc.

Re: Mayhems 71 Nova
Found an 8" rock in the middle of the interstate. Going on the lift tonight. @#$%!!!
4-5" of clearance vs 8" rock = bad news. Shredded the oil pan. Car went airborn when it hit it. It was not pretty.

Re: Mayhems 71 Nova
It didn't, but it's a rigid pan and appears to have just rolled over it. Didn't even break a fin.
I guess the truth will come out when we get it on the lift in the morning. Hoping that's all it did. This is eating away my track budget for the Spring.
