    Busted the Tranny . .

    First round of eliminations last night . . got through first . . . hit second . . . POP!!!

    It's Chris Eades' fault. He walked up to me in the lanes and remarked that my car never breaks . . .

    I haven't got under it yet. It's probably the pump, the front drum, or . . if I got really lucky, I just sheared off the flexplate bolts.




    But I'm never that lucky.

    Turns out I DID get lucky . . . the flexplate sheared.

    See Pic: You can see where it sheared right around the hub of the flexplate.
