Tod-"then I broke the only key on the planet that fit the ignition off because I used it to pry a fuse out...so I am in the staging lanes and I don't have a key to fit the car...everyone had to drive around my car for 3 hours because the steering was locked..."

Rudy, thanks for sharing you guts. We have all done it! Many years ago I was running a 11.20 second 1/4 mile car. I had the opportunity to drive a 9.0 injected door car. After the pass I got out on the return road and threw up!

Im a dirt oval guy and the first night i had everyhting ready to go they called for my first race i got all straped in and the dang car wouldnt start. the rest of the year was like that from bad starters to blown motors. until my final race of the year were my steering linkage broke and i went wide open into the wall.
