Default Re: A fun time at MIR

>> seems funny some cars need 3 burnouts!

Seems to be an ongoing problem at MIR. A Nitro Funny Car almost lost it on the burnout, as reported on CompetitionPlus.com: "KING'S WILD BURNOUT- Mitch King raised a few eyebrows and probably the blood pressure of some of the starting line workers during his burnout early Saturday afternoon. One of the rear tire's on King's Corvette Funny Car grabbed the pavement instead of smoking the tires after rolling through the water box and the car quickly turned sideways, going up on two wheels before he gathered it back in and regained control.

"I was told they didn't squirt enough water down," said King. "One tire was dry and one tire was wet. Luckily I caught it pretty quick and didn't hit Paul (Smith, crew chief) or we'd all of been in big trouble. It was pretty hairy from where I was at and I asked them on the radio if they wanted me to back up and do another burnout and they said 'no just go'."



Randall Cantrell broke an axle in the burnout box, first round of the SSS runoffs. There were a lot of guys having trouble in the burnout box this weekend.

>> i have not done much with the dodge, won street in it at capitol couple of weeks ago, gave me the $ to get to MIR. go figure...

Well, cool! Good job!
