Went to the track last night with some 31x10.5 et drags. First launch I stalled it till 10psi and it hopped a bit out the hole. I think that broke the trans line at the auxillary cooler. When I locks the converter it started spinning so I let off and coasted and got back in it up top just to check things over and it hooked. Second pass blew the tires of so I coasted down. Third pass it hooked with another 10psi launch and I rolled into it slowly to prevent spin. About 200' out it spun hard and went right toward the wall I let off and counter steered. Then coasted down trying to gather my composure. Didn't realized I oiled down the track. When I stopped at the timeslip booth they guy told me I oiled it down and the rest of the fluid leaked out there while I was speaking with him. Wouldn't drive at all.
I think the first pass damaged the line or fitting at the aux cooler and it was spraying causing me to lose traction every pass. I monitored it for leaks and never found anything in the pits. Didn't know it was broken till that last pass. Hopefully I can repair the cooler lines and the transmission survived. May go ahead and drop the pan and change the filter and adjust bands also.
