That's not good......
It's for the tie rod when you lower the car.

Those are for using your squeeze oil can to oil the bearings while running. Like they did on triple expansion steam engines.

I'm sure there's an interesting story there.

You realize that the oil pan comes off so that doesn't have to be done to remove the rod bolts...

Yeah, it happened Mother's day weekend. The hell of it is that I won the round and was going into the final. Three quarters of the ways down the track, I lost all power! Broke a rod, sent it through the block and it was all over for me that day.
It could have been worse though. I could have put a hole in my oil pan, oiled up the slicks, and wound up on my roof!
Oh well, my buddy is getting the next bullet ready, should be back in action in a couple weeks!?

What was the RPM's when it let loose?

Speed is expensive, sorry about that Alley, hope you're not down for long!
At least you got her to a safe stop without you getting hurt or crashing.
Sucks to see but unfortunately that's racing sometimes.
Like you said, at least you didn't get it on your tires down at the big end of the track.

Welcome back alive! It can be an expensive and dangerous hobby.
