First Nitrous pass with the A3. New PB in the car but what a disaster. Almost wrecked bad on the big end when a pressed it heater hose fitting came loose. Im just glad the car is in one piece.

Started of with instant wheel spin and shot left got totally off the gas straightened it out, got it going and was flying until about 1000ft then it was like an ice rink. If you look real close you can see the tail lights start to sway then a cloud of smoke and it got real scary. Wonder what it would have ran on a clean pass with a 1.4 60ft. Cant really see how bad it was in the vid but here it is.

Ya it was one scary ride. It was so bad I ended up in the other lane. Just glad I was racing a turd, and kept it off the wall.

Yeah getting loose at 100+ is probably pretty scary, especially when your driving a 30k mile car. Glad you didnt wreck!
