Have You ever oiled the track

[Kenny Wigington]

3. First 2, bracket racing. 1 at Montgomery, at the Nat'l.Open race 5 yrs ago, during 1st rd., got over to wall, as fast as I could and not slap it, still took over an hr, if I remember it right. Motor was old, but still hated it anyway. Crank in 4 separate pcs, 3 or 4 holes in block, pan had 3 holes.

John, did NHRA send you a bill for that tree? I've heard of sawing the tree down, but that is another extreme. I hate to see the carnage, but that's still one of the best photo sequences in stock history.

only time we have oiled the track at a divisional race was our first race "back" in 2000 at Montgomery, popped a head off the valve and dumped some water/oil in the shutdown area. was about a 20 minute cleanup if i remember.

we did have a cylinder wall collapse testing one weekend, happened on the 2-3 gear change. entire contents of radiator and oil pan on track. We were loaded and gone before they were done cleaning the track. When we got home there was a stream of "chocolate milk" coming out the back door of the trailer. I think it took longer to clean the trailer out than it did to clean up the track.

Not that particular time. HOWEVER, 2008 Winters. I broke 904 trans 1200 ft....saw it off clean at end of bell/pump area as neat as a band saw. Tail shaft fell clean out of car with driveshaft on return road.......Danny charged me $250. Is there a pattern here I don't see?
