Well, he called this morning and #7 spark plug is Toast! Still in one piece, but smashed. Not good. Engines comming out, piston is dinged for sure and a valve is bent for sure. So seat, guide, and probably a piston and a pair of push rods. Its maken me kinda not so happy.....

We talked a bit more, and he thought that when I did the burn out is where it may have over reved and not the missed shift. I didn't think about it, but he is probably right as I let off the line lock and mashed the pedal it probably went over 6700 at that point and maybe higher as I usually don't watch the tach as I leave the box. Not to mention the steering was giving me hell, so I had my hands full. Whereas when I missed the shift, I only saw about 6000 max on the tach, so I am not sure, but a rev limiter either way would have been great to have.
On a lighter note:

Hey sorry to hear that man. Hopefully it won't be anything too bad.
I had something similar happen to me when I let a freind drive the Cuda I bought from you , except he made a series of judgment errors rather than just missing a shift on accident. Hopefully it turns out that it's nothing serious.
Good to hear from you Chomie, what did you do to my old car? I am affraid to ask, but I do miss that car a bunch, so I kinda have to ask. I put so many passes on that thing, its incredible. That was one of the most feared cars in my bracket class, and guys would avoid it when lining up. I put the class champ on the trailor a few times with it. He never said anything, but others would tell me they wouldn't run against it if they had the choice.
