So just to make sure the weekend was a total bust my brother was driving my Monte Carlo and it decided to ventilate the oil pan with a connecting rod and oil the track in the first round. Sorry to all who had to wait while the carnage was removed. Just not a good weekend for the Broaddus Brothers!!

I felt so bad for you guys! But, at least, you have all winter to repair things!! ;-)

Thanks Julie!
We look forward to your return next year too!

Bryan, Glad you guys have the car> It ran in our TOP/SS meet at Indy Open. We had a ball. Ray Paquet, Eddie, Tony Depillo, Both vettes of Wilkerson and Kenny Schindler, then Brian Oakes came and WON both TOP/SS and TOP/Stk. Now there are two other T-BOlts in the area to add with the NASH of A. H Adkins. Ollie Stephan even drove down for a meet.Paul Adams T BOlt is strong already and its getting time to consider it again on a local race basis if enough of the guys want it.
Wish a sponsor would POP up for this race with enough money to DRAW all the good cars at one time. THen this would be a pattern for the future.
Good Luck with the vette. I always wished I had been more active in trying to buy it....

If anyone does not want to go for a ride like this I will build you a diaper that way if rods come out you will only loose a motor not a car call with any questions

Where in the artical did it say any thing about getting oil under and causing the wreck? Arent comp cars already required to have diapers? If so it did not seem to save this car.

Steve told us he did not know he red lighted and was told over the radio . At that point he pushed in the clutch and it upset the car and got away from him. Car is at Haas's shop, engine is ok and driver has a broken toe nail. Now NHRA will enforce steel toe shoes.

That could have been real nasty if he took out the other car too.

No they can run a belly pan instead of a diaper.I posted because I have had a lot of customers this year that saw some bad wrecks and they ordered diapers.

A friend's post was deleted for an obscure reference to selling something, yet the diaper guy is lurking around any post concerning a crash promoting his products. I sell lasers, wanna buy one so your diaper is aligned?
