    As promised in my other thread.... The rest of the story. After several passes and tweeking on the Regal at her first test n tune. I line up against my sister in her Fox Body for the 3rd time. ( beat that pants off her twice) Stage up and the trans brake isnt locking up. Rev limiter is working. She leaves and I back up to try again. nothing. Cars getting hot so I just go off the foot brake. shift 1-2 OK nice and strong. pull 3 and it its and the shift light goes back on then the fire cpmes up through all the little open bolt holes in the floor. lose power and coast to the turn off road where it stops and the fire trucks suround me. Switch off the batterys close the tank valve. Look for damage. I see a puddle of trans fluid all under th right side of the car. Something let loose and sprayed all my fluid on the track at the 1/8 mile mark. It was dark so I just got a tow to my pit and wenched up on the trailer. I'll know more once I get under it tomorrow. I hope its nothing really bad. My daughter got the run on video. I'll post the link later.
