A.) Not fill out paperwork and get disqualified
B.) Get sick on gas fumes and go to the infield care center
C.) Build a 1-off Rear Differential, and not create a backup
Well, 'A' almost happened to a LOT of teams... they were re-greidded to the back of the packs, and started the race there, since many teams forgot to fill out driver info forms... lol
B just about happened as well when our teams fuel rig sprung a leak, and it was unbearably horrible until the gas finally evaporated in the kitty litter...
So, we'll leave it to 'C' to cut the race short.... yep, a one-off dif in a barely used ford 9" quick-change rearend. The 9" is comon, but the diff is different in the quick-change rearends... and this one just happens to be even more unique to work with certain axles.
So yea, the car found a way to break the diff in half, and with no backup for the diff, the race was over. Grabbed the beer, and hung out till about 11pm, and came home... i just got back a few minutes ago.
Ah well.... it was an AWESOME time! I'll have pics tomorrow or Monday, whenever i can get the 1.5 Gigs of pics i took between the practice session on Thursday, and the race today. I got pics of the infamous diff as well, so you'll see how badly it was damaged.. hehe.
::sigh:: i was looking forward to trying to fall asleep with those cars racing away in the background.. hehe.
