Well you're less than 600 away and according to Nick that should only be a day and a half.

"The Bender"For those of you that might be wondering, I did not get that 3.6x pass last weekend. It was on it's way to what would have been a 3.6x or very close to it, but a broken crankshaft at the top of 1st gear ended my weekend. The only thing I got was my best 60' and 330' ever.

Well you get to buy a new billet crank don't you? Isn't that like a participation trophy .....

TORQINFamous used drag racer words start like:
Boyz, she was on a pass and suddenly ran over the crankshaft....
Sorry to hear it Brian.

What were the 60ft and 330 marks?
December 09, 2017, 09:29 AM
"The Bender"Well, at least I didn't run over the crank. The damage looks minimal, no real block damage, it could have been alot worse for sure. The crank is literally in two pieces. It was coming apart for a freshen up after that race anyways.
.932 60', 2.45 330', crank broke at 1.95, so it was already coasting for .5 at the 330'............
If the new Bryant crank is a participation trophy, why do I have to pay for it?

Sorry to hear that.
It's been my experience that they always seem to run better or pick up some ET or speed, right before they blow up.
