I almost bought the farm! I went to the track last night and was setup for a 1/4 mile nitrous pass! When I left the starting line the track locator bracket broke off the rearend housing! Thank goodness it did not break at 140 plus! I have a cheesy little video of it but it was dark and far away!

This is what we had to do to get it back to the trailer. You can see the track locator behind the battery! I had an old friend bring his portable welding unit to the track and fix it there! We were back to making passes in about an hour! Special thanks to Mike Honeycutt!
