You don't have to tell me that, I'm the only ******* at the track dodging tornados half the time. But it's not looking good for sat if you look further into it. I'll be there either way of course.

9.1.....very nice
sucks about the motor considering all the work put into the car lately.
some of those toyota's are just insane, hope someone has ideo to post up.

was on my way up but blew a tire on 101, hit a huge f^cking screw and nearly sailed into the woods. All I need now is new rubber for the wheels and new boxers because thats not anything you can just "shout it out"

it broke when he was at the back half of the 1/4 when he wasn't even fully on the throttle due to it being a bye in the bracket.

That sucks about the motor Paul. The more I think about it, the more fishy it seems. To me it seems much more likely that something else got between the shaft and the block and got kicked out, like what often happens with transmissions. Any chance something from the head could have fallen down an oil return and got into the works?

I am with KJ on this one. As much as the whole thing sucks, I can't wait to see the cause of this. Hopefully most of the internals are still intact...
