(as posted the night after)
ok.. Shawn Salazar breaks MY backup rear end(he has been borrowing it). AAA to the rescue.. I joked how it would suck if I broke my car, because we would have to call AAA again.. same location, same destination(Jordon's Garage, how may I help you?)
fast forward..
Sean Freese(veteran 10sec auto-magic driver) makes a pass in RonSpeed's(430rwhp NA +150hp nitrous, 6spd) car. 11.2, then the keys get passed on to me to run a 10 and whoop ass on some mustang race car. I launch hard, I am out a length at least on the 'stang.. car shutters(rear end shutter) a little.. hit second gear.. BOOM BITCH! broken DS. turns out it looks like it cracked or something on the pass before(Sean said it vibed at the big end on his pass). and I felt that shutter my whole pass(well, <2 gears of it). Thats the 2nd breakage of Jordon-related items.
on to me. I want to make one final pass, as I KNOW the car has a 10.30 in it.. line up, launch, car leaves ok( iwas kinda pissed, it wasn't as good as an early run that I had to abort early) but oh well, hit 2nd gear BAM, broken axle(I had my axles resplined, which in turn kills the heat treating).
Thats broken driveline part #3
call
AAA, laughing my ass off.. cause we were using Shawn's account again
I guess you do enough high 1.4s, low 1.5s with a 6spd and 3700lbs.. something has gotta
break
so how did we all get home? Sean Freese(MR ls1) and RonSpeed rode with Wes Rogers(LOL, yes in a mustang). Then guess what.. I had to ride back in Kim's mustang, along with Shawn.
I may have gone BOOMBITCH, and Wes was talking noise about all the chevy boys having to
ride home in fords.. but the fact is, I had the fastest ET and MPH of any car at the track
that night(street race night)
Until next week, when rubber meets asphalt.. this is jerdin, signing off.
