Up EPH3 » My Races and Track Events » Aug 2003 - Kablamo! at Sebring

Don, Buddy, Lydia and I were at Sebring for a couple regional races on the Sebring long course. Bad weekend for me, but Don finished first in class for his two races! I started on the pole for my first race. The second car on the grid was a Mustang Cobra, and he's fast in a straight line. He pulled ahead of me at the green flag (no surprise), but I passed him halfway through the first lap. Coming around the final corner to complete lap #2, all hell broke loose - literally! My engine blew and it was a challenge to recover from it. Managed to get the car into pit lane, but it wasn't a pretty site. Oil everywhere, and some bits and pieces got left on the track. Make sure to follow the link to YouTube from the Videos section in order to see the full onboard video of this meltdown.
