Thanks for the Love on the SHOstang.  They didn't have a chance to photog the car b/c it was at Tommy's shop where we thrashed on it all day Friday, while also trying to help get the Bastardos Mark Ate and the Dauphine ready... and Joe & Tommy were up till 4:30am, and then back at it from 7:30am to 3pm when it finally arrived at the track, passed tech inspection on the 2nd try.  13 laps later... Kaboom!  Nick has pictures of the aftermath.

ALLEGEDLY!

and I would like to see the pictures of the SHO y'all got. smile
I wasn't able to make it to the race this time, but we will see y'all in Houstin, and the 'Stang will be ready to ROCK!
and I will be there with my own awesome photography skills, instead of my lame sister. harhar.

Check out the innards of the BLOstang from ECR.

Poor innocent engine

After a few laps in the SHOstang of death

Looks like someone has been polishing the crankshaft ... with a hammer.   You can't really tell from this picture but the crank is extremely bent with 2 weights touching at one point.

I may not be a professional but I think I can see your problem.

Someone stole your piston

Found it

I think this belongs inside the engine

And this does not.

It explains a lot.  How do you expect a nice innocent engine to stay together when strippers are throwing a party in their crankcase?  smile

The car will be running at MSR!

Re: BS Inspection photos from North Dallas Hooptie

It was a great time and I can't wait to see the SHOStang again.  MSR 2 weeks away and life is good.

Justice...with a smile.
