    customer of mine did that with a 4-4-2 and cost him a pretty penny replacing a motor and transmission.

    guess its better than a crash

    Worst part of something like that is you don't know what's happening and it takes you a split second to realize and then react. I'm glad your ok! Clean out your pants and get right back on the horse...with a dual return spring setup. (Huh, that must be why NHRA mandates it.)
