Dumbest newbie thing,you did at the drag strip.....

A few years ago I was racing my 73 Dart Sport 340 4 speed.I had just got the new 372 stroked engine in and went out for some passes.I did my big burnout(with slicks),pull up to the lights...I leave hard,hit 2nd gear and the car drops and inch on drivers side..WTF?? as I pull to the side,I feel another clunk??as I look out the drivers window...there goes my wheel with the axel attached!!Argg!!My 1/4 panel???I was very lucky to not have damaged the 1/4 panel/trunk extension.Wheeww!We jacked the car up and stuffed the axel back in and got it off the track and to my trailer.Lesson learned about 8 1/4 S.G HP limits.After this episode I put a 8 3/4 under the car,stopped racing the car and built my 66 Dart for racing.:burnout:
