we qualified 3rd after a bunch of guessing, crutching and im sure a prayer or too......sadly some jackhole decided to forget how to drive and make our 70K dollar late-model look like a trophy truck (i was 15 seats up in the stands and could see the driveshaft as BJ jumped the guys rear tire) and cost the team about 5K in repairs, the front clip came up and hit the balancer shattering it, ruined the steering unit and lines, and tweaked everything, so the car had to go to Port City in Michigan to get reclipped......luckily all the motor needed was a new balancer....

Well, having been around racing all my adult life, I reccomend magnafluxing that crank. It took a shot, which can cause unseen damage, which will make itself known at the most inoppurtune time, usually leading with a couple laps to go, in a very big race.
Seems like every brand new car gets a hit like that. Had the whole front end torn off mine, right after installing a complete new body. Never even scratched the old body, just wanted to update.
