Both my tires sping all the way through my burnout. Not to mention that was my worst burnout of the day. All of the others I stayed all the way in the waterbox and smoked the $hit out of them.

Tuned by the same shop, stock REV limiter and the same psi as Brian. Sometimes I guess, the rods just let go.

The main reason you see some of the fastest times there is that it is open during the middle of the winter, so lots of folks are running in 30-40 degree weather and getting record times.
Try running at Atco during the summer and compare it to what you ran during the winter, the difference will be mind boggling.
My 2000 civic si ran 15.1 at atco during the winter, in 80 degree weather in June it ran 15.6 with the exact same mod: only an AEM CAI
I'll admit though that it's faster than Englishtown, because it is just a better prepped track than englishtown and you can get some killer 60' times there, but it is not downhill. Please stop the madness.

It's a well known rumor.
That's what it is.
And about Etown being the best prepped track on the east coast, Muhahaha to that.
That just tells me you have little to no experience with it.
Etown is a nice drag racing venue with nice facilities and everything, but the track prep is really left to be desired. If you had raced at Atco, or even at Island Dragway, the track prep is superior and you will always hook up better and post better 60' times at those other venues. At etown you will spin more, no matter what you do, plain and simple. I have made like probably close to 100 passes at those three NJ based tracks in the last 5 years, so I know the differences well. Etown is the worst out of the three when it comes to hooking up and running fastest ETs.
Atco is only fast during the winter. IT IS NOT A DOWNHILL TRACK
Island dragway is a ghetto track which charges an arm and a leg to do test and tune, but the track prep is decent and you can run some decently fast times there if the weather is not too hot or humid.

Was any reason ever found for that either? Kinda seems like its just luck of the draw!

Also do you know what level your oil was at when it blew up? Really bad gas maybe?

Oil levels were fine and I always ran 94 octane. Who knows maybe I missed something. I don't profess to be very mechanically inclined so I probably should of stayed away from FI.

1) Atco is downhill.. deal with it..
2) Island Dragway is a POS i wouldn't even mention or run my lawn mower down.
3) Etown has hooking up problems when they have big events because every other car is leaving oil at the starting tree.. but its still one of the best prepped tracks in the US
