So had my second super sprint yesterday. Practice was great, got my fastest time ever... Lined it up for race one got the jump on the Alfa GTV  6200 in third, popped it into fourh got to about 5000rpm and... it... went BANG 
Rolled back into the pits popped the bonnet no holes in the block no oil leaks... Hmm first i thought it was the gear box but after trying to re-start it in neutral the god awful racket was still there. F*%K.... So what died inside? Stay tuned motor comes out today |

Spewing buddy, I know the feeling! I was gonna go to that but had to work.
Could a valve have let go, that's what went in mine. Sounded awful when it happened and yeah, no holes in the block. |

Compression still evident on all cylinders (finger test). If it is a bearing, it's the noisiest bearing I have ever heard that has let go.

Broken/cracked crank is pretty common, and noisy.... |

In order to win an arguement at brickworx about a lap time you must have an official time around mallala. ALL others are invalid!!! |

i was under the impression that at supersprints they still utilise stopwatch timing |

Some they do, but the same person does it everytime. with set markers on the track to get times from. A lot more accurate than i/you/we could do from the pits. We can only get a general idea of times from our own timing, and they can easily be misjudged. Bring yours out to a supersprint and get a time... |
