Subject: Re: Very Scary Pass Last Night by rklessdriver on 2012/10/18 22:21:47 Yea they don't intentionally allow passes on a wet race track... Old Dominion is closing down permanently (land development) after this season and I reckon the officials weren't as diligent about checking the cars during their runs as they normally are... Initially they thought I oiled down the track. I'm just glad I was able to keep everything in one piece, but it sucks to know you possibly hurt the love of your life and almost totaled your car, playing around on a half ass joy ride down the track. It was kinda weird on the return road... I was thinking maybe something in the rear end broke... But didn't hear anything banging around, so scratch that.... Then I thought maybe I just dumped coolant or oil everywhere... and that is a real bad feeling.... knowing you just ruined a night of racing for everyone, that feels worse then almost crashing.... I was checking gauges and everything was fine... no odd smell... Back in my pit box we looked the car over and I was relieved to find nothing wrong. Next week is the last race ever at Old Dominion Dragway and at least I'll be able to race. Provided the weather cooperates maybe I'll finally get that 6.90 time slip. Will |
