First round of eliminations last night . . got through first . . . hit second . . . POP!!!

It's Chris Eades' fault. He walked up to me in the lanes and remarked that my car never breaks . . .

I haven't got under it yet. It's probably the pump, the front drum, or . . if I got really lucky, I just sheared off the flexplate bolts.




But I'm never that lucky.

Turns out I DID get lucky . . . the flexplate sheared.

See Pic: You can see where it sheared right around the hub of the flexplate.

It was practically new. It had about 50 passes on it.
