Yea....but I'm pretty sure I ran 15.XX because I missed 2nd. I didn't get a slip....cause I was sitting on my *** at the end of the track for 10 mins.[:@]

Is the sensor still in the correct position? If not, it can't read the timing and wont start....

Me and my buddy went to the track tonight. Its about an hr and 30 mins from my house.
So we get up there, get in line, everything. I get up there...little burnout, and stage. Lights go, I spin hard first, try to powershift second, miss....throw it in, spin 2nd a little, then powershift into 3, 4th, and peg it across the line top of fourth. I let off fourth......revs down a bit, backfires, then my rpms drop like a rock, my tach needle bounces off the peg, car dies. So I drift to the end of the track, and get a tow back to the pits. Turns out the wheel on my timing adjuster came loose somehow, my buddy happened to have a socket to tighten it down. But the car won't turn over...it cranks, but wont turn over, I'm assuming the computer just went into down mode because of the fcked up timing....im hoping its not something serious. So....at the end of the night, i called AAA had to pay $140 bucks to get it towed 50 miles back to my town and over to Protune. I left the car there, and my guy is gonna look at the timing adjuster tomorrow afternoon. I just told him to take the fcker off.
I trapped at 99, not even sure what i ran.....so thats pretty cool....but im fcking pissed off that i only got one run, and it sucked by missing a gear, and im out 140 bucks, 12 bucks to get into the track.....and the condition of my car is pending.
What a horrible night. Do you guys think its just the T/A? If its anything more serious, im FCKED
