I had the second worst seat in the house for our third round matchup. Joe Buchanan strapped a .005 bulb on me and took the win light, both of us running .04 over as our previously steady tailwind disappeared right at the start of the Super Stock session... and then the excitement that nobody ever wants started. I believe his trans went into 1st gear, and the Mustang went into a somewhat controlled slide, smoke boiling off all four tires, continuing pretty straight in the shutdown area despite the car being pretty sideways. Joe did a great job of keeping the car in his lane, and just barely got into the wall. I jammed the throttle to get clear and give him room, and frantically motioned back up the track to the top end crew. He got the car stopped and later was actually able to drive it off the track. In an amazing effort, a crowd of folks jumped into action, swapping out the flat-spotted tires, yanking the trans to go through it, and getting it back in the car in time to make 4th round!
