Yea imagine that.....
And as far as '...only a matter of time' , Hrmmm, maybe you are alluding to the fact that the car burned oil at Ocala.
The reason it burned oil was because of a PCV valve that vents to the exhaust to create vacuum in the crankcase. Oil was sometimes able to get up the tube and then down into the hot exhaust and you know how it goes from there. Might explain how it magically blew an engine like 12 times at Ocala and then came back to life each time....
The failure turned out to be a broken piston. It's a pretty rare failure but I have seen pistons mysteriously let go. Once the piston went, the rod had a g--damn fiesta in there and you see what happened. I've got better pictures for later.
For now, off to the track!
