Kicked mine this weekend. I spent all week preparing the car. Car handled great and the track was a little wet too, only gonna get better i thought. I ran 4 maybe 5 tanks in practice and the engine flamed out. I checked the CB bearings, they were done. No big deal, pop some fresh ones in. Maybe 1.5 tanks later, another flame out I bring the car in and try to fire it back up, S.O.B wont even idle. CB bearings still good, plug still looked like brand new, and i looked over every inch of the fuel system. Car was sittin on the starter box on the ground and i field goal kicked it right in the wingstay. Needless to say the engine (O.S. VG) got canned right there at the track not long afterwards, but thats an even longer story.
