I hate it when this happens...

[PKRWUD]

This is out of a 360 Sprint Car from here in Ventura. It was running over 650hp on Methanol, and had a Hillborn mechanical injection, 14:1 pistons, and a Mag ignition. It was a direct drive with no transmission, and had 6.86 gears in the rear end. It ran a 1/5th mile dirt oval in under 11 seconds (not bad considering that includes 4 turns). In the first pic, you can see where the rods blew out both sides of the block. If you look closely, you can see where the forged crankshaft journal is missing. Where did it go? It's still attached to the rods (see bottom picture). The gentlemans name is Kenny Brown, and he races every week at Ventura Raceway. Feel free to stop by and say hi. Just don't ask him if he's seen any rods lying around.





Take care
