Civil Wars @ Rockingham

Well we took the white car, and 3 full bottles of laughing gas. The first qualifying pass in footbrake (my son Thomas driving), and KABOOM on the starting line. A little nitrous backfire took us out for the week-end. It blew holes all in the air intake system. Bought a new cold air kit from Holcomb and changed the plugs, pulled the upper intake to plug the blown out vacuum connections, only to find out we blew a head gasket or both.

Many thanks go out to Jeff Hines, and Charlie Fox for helping us turn the wrenches to try and make qualifying in open competition. Well I quess that's racing, stuff happens right?
