Default 01Bird_of_Prey down

Went out Tuesday night -- only raced one person. The car seemed to run fine during the race, but on the way home I heard a tapping on the top, but it went away. The the car was still running like shit. I took it to work and found out that the piston exploded. It didn't hurt the cylinder walls, so I'll be down for a while...
