[Nova4301]

About 8 years ago had a fairly mild 350 my 72 nova. Just a regular bracket race and I think it was the last time trial. Well, the engine came loose right at the traps and I can remember knowing exactly what took place so I eased into the brakes...at least I think I eased into the brakes. The next thing I know the car is sideways enough that my buddy coming down the return road later said he could see the back glass of the car running pretty much running parellel to the gaurd rail and the EMTs told me I did a good job of saving it.

Luckily I didn't hit anything, but when I got out of the car and looked back down the track I could see a pretty violant looking S pattern on the track where the rear tires were riding in the antifreeze and oil. Had to do alot of cleaning to get all the antifreeze and oil off the car...but I was glad I wasn't doing body work too.
