FHRA Finals
27-29.8.1999 Alastaro Circuit In a first classifying round the engine suddenly stoped at the stage, because I incorrectly hoisted the throttle pedal. After that round it starts to rain. On Sunday there was one classifying round before Elimination. I burnout and staged. When the tree light changed green,I released the clutch and line lock. Inside the transmission there heard big bang. Drive shaft and pinion broked. So that was the Finals. |
