Sunday, Sunday Sunday!!!!!!!! or "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Staging Lanes"










After nervously agreeing to leave the car at the track, I laid in bed thinking about what had killed the performance..It came to me that thew Magneto was walking again...

I headed back early Sunday and checked the mag...sure enough it had moved again...So I set it back, and it ran fine....Steve wasn't going to be there til later, so we (Dawn) and I decided to try and make a shot by ourselves...Paul was to start the car & Dawn was gonna handle push-truck duties.

As we headed to the lanes, Dawn in the drivers seat (I need a booster pillow for her) I heard a loud bang like I had hit something.....

The tow hook in the nose of the dragster had torn loose and ripped thru the body,,,The metal was fatigued from me pulling a 90 degree turn the night before (I can see it in picture I took)

I felt so bad for Dawn... She thought she had done something wrong...Not True, of course..."That's Racing, See Also: Shit Happens.....

We decided to load up and head home.....
