I bring this up as it happened to me this weekend. I ran about 15 minutes of prctice and after the 1st heat motor was a little off comming out of some of the slower sections. Apparently, the slug started to work its way out. As it did, it started to mill down the rod. it went about 80% thru the rod before it lock up and died on me comeing down the front stretch. I thought I was out of fuel.

Found out the flywheel was locked up, pulled the back plate off and saw metal shards everywhere and the slug fell out. Pulled the head off to get to the mount bolts easier and pulled the sleeve and piston. Boy was I supprised to see that thing. I will post some pics tonight. It was spectacular.

Put in my back up CRE B5, qualled 4th for the mains and blew up the brand new clutch bearings I installed before the main durring the warm up laps. Some days it just doesnt pay to unload you equipment from the trailer
