Looks like they hurt the motor with all that fuel causing bore washing. 5 quarts of oil burned completing the last 270mile drive (that's only slightly worse than some LS motors....). Good finish, they certainly put in the work.

yea id be looking for a better injector, since the issue is fixed for pretty much one run then it plays up again just not worth it unless something odd in the fuel they are using

Steve Morris has to be the most unlucky guy when it comes to transmissions.

Good save. And very nice job having the composure to get the chutes out mid full lock on the steering wheel

yep that just confirms my thoughts of high speed loosing it, if u keep ur wheels free spinning ur going to follow the car direction ie hit a wall, but if ur sideways with still forward momentum best to lock the brakes so u keep the same momentum and not grip up and hit the wall, watching his underbody shot u can see he is doing exactly that only release brakes when ur facing the right way, great save...

thought id stick this hear as its SM, this is a good watch if ur into drag cars, and from bout the 21 mins mark when they talk to the driver he explains how they actually drive the thing and if u thought it was just put it in D and put ur foot down damn bit different, i kinda knew of what they done with the clutches but the whole deal is next level
