went to willowbank tonight, not a bad night, me and 4 mates went out there.
run 1: slipped the clutch, ran 16.60 at 83mph
run 2: slipped the clutch, ran 16.55 at 84mph
run 3: slipped the clutch, it bit when i hit high rpm, but slipped again during shifts, 16.61 at 84mph
run 4: slipped the clutch, then bogged bad, as i changed into 2nd at 8000rpm, i heard something go ting ting under the bonnet,  car seemed to keep going at same pace, looked in rearview and kept into it, ran some pusbucket 17.xx, 
now car has a slight vibration, ah shit, something to do with the tailshaft has come off, get under it, nope all good, get under the hood, all good, went and parked it and had another look cause it vibrates when stationary,  just b4 i pulled the bonnet up i noticed a new dent in the bonnet, but it was hit from underneath, pulled the bonnet up and had a look round,
hmmmmmmmm, crank pulley looks odd, stop the engine, ah fuck,  crank pulley had started to come apart, a 4 inch chunk of metal had ripped off and slammed the inside of my bonnet at 100mph, has put engine off balance.
will get a new one tomorrow, oh well
oh yeh, beat my PB by 1.19 seconds and 9mph faster
