I love pictures that just show the emotion involved. That sucks. What happened? Don't tell me the motor is gone.

Maybe, but the way the one picture shows, of all the fluids. It looks like it came from the front of the car.

Re: Who can guess what Happened to me at the track

I'm guessing tranny failure, something broke and got punted out the side of the case.

Re: Who can guess what Happened to me at the track

Well I have to say I was a lot luckier than you guys think me to be. The problem was far less serious than that and I had the car running perfectly the following day.

So here's the story.

Went to the track for one final hoorah before the end of the season. Me my girl my buds Dart swinger and his girl went down. We got there and there was a TON of cars there. Not only that but one of the lanes was closed because a car exploded on the right lane and they couldn't clean it or some bullshit.
So we only got two passes in.
I ran 13.3 and 13.4 in that order with my girl as a passenger. I was pleased it had been amongst my fastest runs with those heavy rims on and with a passenger allbeit pretty light one I was content.

On the way home I could smell gas really bad. (1.5 hr drive). My buddy who is behind me gives my cell phone a ring saying I am spraying fuel everywhere and its getting on his windshield its so bad. SO I notice I'm running lean and my car is running out of fuel fast but i don't want to stop or I might not get it running again. Anyways going to pull onto the freeway for a 5 kilometer jog and the car fishtails huge nearly causing me to lose it on the corner. The gas had soaked my rear tires and it was like I was on mcd's trays. So I said fuck it its not safe to drive. Opened the hood and it was pissing just spraying fuel out the ss line which attaches to the FPR. So I got the tow (25bucks) and went the next day cut line and then reattached the good part back into the barb fittings and back onto the fuel rail and fpr and it worked again. Now my car just reeks of gas but all in all not too bad of a problem. Happy to be fixed and working well once again

Re: Who can guess what Happened to me at the track

So was it just a bad connection to the FPR? Or did something actually break?
