:I went to the track last night and my worst fears came true. First everything was going good and I did a couple nice motor runs. After three runs I was getting good traction and decided it was time for the nitrous. So I did as I have previously about 20 times, nice burnout, arm the nitrous, launch, at 3k rpm nitrous comes on. Everything going smooth. Then about half track I notice a loss in power. I left off as I cross the line and hear some bad knocking. I idle it back to the pits and pop the hood and hear what could be nothing else but the sound of a rod that came loose from somepoint. I limped it off the track grounds and gave AAA a call and got it towed home. Tomorrow I tear it out and expect to find the bottom end in need of a total rebuild. Well it could have been worse, I didn't hit a wall or put a scratch on it. Sorry to hear about that Ryan. I had all intentions of coming down anyway and just driving back lateand then relatives unexpectedly showed up last night, let me know what you hurt. I got the pics of the Mav with coil overs on the front. Goooood bye shock towers. I can't wait.
