Hi I'm Greg and I had an oil down problem,
2009 Houston Spring Nats, round 4 Sunday am,
I remember like it was a year ago...hah
put my stocker in high gear.....boom blew it up broke 2 rods, holes in pan, plenty of valvoline's finest all over the right lane from half track to almost 1000ft, stopped and was towed to the 1st turn off.....I was smart enough to get out of the racing groove....yes the safety safarii made laps, so yes it does happen.....I hated it to be me and was thankful they didn't send me a bill..I am still recuperating my wallet from the experience...as I am on a small budget. I apologized to the clean up crew, they thanked me for moving out of the groove and stopping as soon as I could.
Wow I feel better sharing this with the class.....on to step # 2

Turk, I hate it happened to you, but I think it pick a good time to do it.

I had one let go at the Sportsnationals in Belle Rose 5 or 6 years ago. It let go around the 330' mark, and I pulled over before half track. Clean up didn't take too long.
