Threw a rod on top end at Indy in qualifying. Went out the left side, pulled the brake line OFF the frame (but intact) took out the left front tire. Crossed the line at 114. Found the brakes gently and noticed a hard pull to the left. I just eased off and coasted down to stop. Very lucky. Installed new motor, tire, fixed line and Ran Class two days later. Also Rember if the car starts swaying left and right sometimes touching the gas will straighten it up before trying brakes again.
