Default Re: Congratulations Craig Marshall !!!!!

Congrats, Craig. Thanks for the ride, and sorry I broke your car.

For those looking for more than the dragracecentral report, I broke an intake rocker at 1200' on the first round single. It had been running .05 quicker than the 9.67 qualifying pass to the 1000', but ended up at a 9.68, down 4 mph. Oil pressure dropped to 20psi, and wouldn't recover. Towed the car back, and they pulled valve covers to find more than just the broken rocker... looked like a milkshake inside. They had found a little water in a cylinder this morning, but we were hoping to limp through the day by changing oil between rounds. Unfortunately, it got worse. It's not worth blowing it up. Hopefully nothing's hurt too bad.
