Had our spring opener meet this Sunday. *Was a little cold out, very slight occasional mist but not bad overall. *Got a couple nice shots of the car:
Then leaving the meet, in 2nd I gave it a little too much and got a little sideways and hit the damn curb. *Feel like an idiot. *Drag radials, cold weather, slight mist, and me still getting used to the power it has = dumb mistake. *So my wheel is hurt and i popped a tire. *Also the fans had shut off for whatever reason so while we let it sit and idle coolant started coming out of the overflow. *That's when we realised the fans didn't turn on. *Shut off the car, the BTI gauge showed 219* when I finally looked at it. *So... *Now gotta figure out what to do about wheels, and going to investigate the coolant issue, hoping I didn't pop the head gasket. *I've post-poned my dyno appt so I can take my time and make sure everything is OK before I stap her on. *Sucks, but could be worse. *Doing my best to get back on the horse here and fix it and keep moving forward. *I figure it could be worse, it's not like it caught fire the day before trying for 6's at TX2K right?
*I'll be fine, and I'll get it fixed, not so bad really.
