Wagon progress, and set backs

Tommy, Richie and I went down to Oldbridge Township Raceway Park again last night to drag the wagon a bit. We got a nice first run in at dusk with a time of 11.77 @ 112 mph. (Check out the wheelie on the Trans-Am who ran a 9.7)

The next few runs were not what we expected. The wagon blew out the transmission dipstick on the next run, smoked all over the place on the top end. We added 2 quarts to get the fluid back, and taped the dipstick on the tube.

After the final pass of 11.44 @ 116, Tommy's best so far, he noticed something again leaking under the car. We couldn't believe it... a small hole in the oil pan! Looks like the big block is coming out now.
