Default Almost totaled #1931 today.

Today I had to walk away while I'm still ahead. My first and only run I pulled up to the wet box and did a pete style burnout 30' long. And the last 10' the MT's grabbed hard like a big hammer hit the azz end of the car. Me and a ford lightening lined up. Green light go. I launched the car at 4500rpms. And I swear that Z jumped 20' outta the hole two car lengths ahead of the lightening. My car was on fire and pulling hard leaving the ford lightening in the dust. But as soon as I slammed it into 3rd gear everything went to hell in a hurry. The azz end of the car started fish tailing left/right probably 10 times before I got control of it. I thought I was gonna take out the lightening. It felt like when I slammed it into 3rd that the right rear gripped solid but the left rear didn't and that's when all hell broke loose. My wife said everybody in the stands stood up with there hands over there mouth saying OH SH*T. My wife said are you ready to call it quits now. Yep. And when we get home make mine a bouble. That scared me to death. My heart is still beating fast after that close call. I think I'm gonna give it a rest for a while. Its funny cuz I was worried about blowing a u-joint not loosing control of the car.
