Saw it. It's ugly. A intake valve snapped below the retainer. After that use you're imagination.

That being said, Rylan gets the "overcomes adversity" award by getting a new motor in the car by 2pm the next day to make qualifying.

Looks like ITE is going to be fun this year with both him and DavePK. Crashtest is running ITR as well.

Sorry to hear about the problems you had. Hope it's just getting rid of all the bad luck up front so the rest of the season goes smoothly!

One of you should do a separate thread on a review of the races.
