Yesterday at Baton Rouge I had something very strange happen which cost me first round. I'm reasonably sure it's in the transmission, but I don't know enough about the Metric 200 to know the possible causes.

Both qualifying rounds were consistent with what the car should have run, and lights were consistent. 1st round I hit the same spot on the tree I had been hitting, and the car didn't react immediately, but when it did it felt like it spun. I was .178 and.2 off in 60'. Dad said the car did NOT spin the tires. I'm baffled at what could have caused it internally, but it seems like clutches. I don't even know if there is a set of clutches applied in 1st gear. Any ideas?
