What's the worst thing for your nerves you have done to your race car? Mine may have been watching a guy cut a hole in my steffs aluminum oil pan.

Backhalved it. There was nothing but a giant hole behind the seats. After it was all cut out, you couldn't just bolt it back in.

Yeah, I watched a guy have a go at my car with a sawzall. It was ass...

First time I dropped my car off at a chassis shop and left with an empty trailer. I didn't sleep well for a week I don't think!

Putting it into the wall and watch it try to crawl the guard rail. Was sick about that for along time

When I took a plasma cutter to the back half of my car and I got to admit, sitting in the staging lanes for the first time in 20 years, last weekend just hoping everything was going to work right and get me down the 1/4 mile ok....

How could I forget about my two trips into the wall? The first time wasn't nearly as bad as the last. I had the car back out in a month last time it happened but this time is 15+ months and counting. I didn't even want to look at the car for quite some time and it really shook up my wife.

For me it was the very first trip down the track running the very first big block chevy I'd ever built, *and* after not having touched a motor at that level for over 20 years... I wasn't sure it wouldn't hand grenade crossing the stripe...

Matter of fact, I *still* worry about that every time I run down the track
