Great weekend - great racing - and apologies for those who enjoyed T3 a little too much in my oil. :shock:

This is what it looks like from below when your rod bolts fail at 6000 RPM. Bottom of the rod is still out their on track somewhere.... Hole in pan extends back beyond steering rack, plus broken crank girdle and another hole in the block up near the alternator mount. niiiice...

I thought aerated oil was better for the engine. ;)

Sorry to see that Matt. Good luck getting it back together.

Thanks all for the encouragement - but looks like we're shutting down for a bit. Baby due in 3 weeks so we're going to take some time and do the build right. May make October, but we shall see.

Here's the looks/feels/sounds/smells.
