Re: Thunder Wheelstand Video

Nice(but expensive), was that taner you were running against?

Was all that smoke cause by a hole in the oilpan, spewing on the exhaust?

I don't think it was Taner.

Yeah the oil started coming out toward the end of the track.

I just hate to see you guys hurting your cars like that. I know how bad it gets from being a crew guy on a super street car. We hurt lots of stuff till they allowed training wheels in '96~'97 , its all so foggy

Fresh off the presses, Thunder Racing increases prices by 10%.

What did you all smash? I would figure the normal oil pan, filter, tranny pan, x-member, headers, etc. Anything else or have you even looked at it? I know I'd take a week or so before I could muster the courage to access the damage.

Oh I hear ya and I don't want to break any more parts as well. We still have a ton of adjusting to do on the chassis. This was only the 3rd pass on the new stuff and we just didn't tie the front down enough.

Pretty much all of the above including the trans bellhousing is cracked loose from the engine, both shocks, all of the wheel well plastic, and the damn breather fell off the valve cover and melted on the headers.

Also a lot of road rash on the rear bumper but I'l think we'll leave that alone. You know scars add character.

Re: Thunder Wheelstand Video

Dont fix the bumper yet for damn sure. We got alot of work left before we are ready to cover up the damage.
