What do you think happened below? (Left Lane) From this information it could be a number of things but who will guess what really happened?
These time-trial runs were made last Sunday about an hour and a half apart...

Crossed ceterline into other lane and shut off
Good guess but that is one I haven't done yet. Never crossed the center-line (although I think I've found every other way to lose a round :) )Quote:

kissed the wall?
ok end the suspense. what happened?
Yes I'm with Barb on this, Please put us out of our misery and we can only pray the car isn't in for a major rebuild.
Big earthquake hit- ground opened up & swallowed the car before the 330 point?
Car went airborne & cleared all the lights past the 60 ft point?
You broke & were pushed back to start line for tow back to pits.
blew the motor .. thats` the main expensive thing to keep you from coming back the next weekQuote:

Broke the rear-end, GM 12-bolt with Eaton clutch style posi. Haven't taken the cover off yet but pinion is probably missing some teeth and/or broken spiders.
Starting line breakage is almost always driveline related... Driveshaft, u-joints, rear, axles. Motors usually blow on the big end. Auto trans usually lose 2nd gear first later on or sometimes leave you stranded on the starting line.
A violent wheelstanding launch could put you in the wall that soon but this car doesn't have that kind of power.
I chose not to scramble to get her fixed this week because my standing in the fall points is pathetic and my chances of podium finish are very slim. Tough call because I really enjoy this season ending weekend. But I'll take my time to get good parts and fix it up right.
Will change to a spool and plan to change from 4.56:1 to 4.33:1 for some more top end. With the 456 shift light comes on before 1000' which is barely okay on the mountain but won't swing it if I ever run closer to sea level.
Thanks for playing!

After breaking out of the hole pulling over and shutting down it was nice consolation to look up at the scoreboard and see that .000... "at least I get a pin" :D
