When you’re pushing 30+ pounds of Boost and sitting above 9,000rpm things are eventually going to break. Speaking with Matt after the event he shed some light on the circumstances behind the Small Block Chev calling it quits.
At a recent event here in WA Matt shut the car down mid-burnout due to an Oil Line Failure. A check of the remote filter after the show highlighted nothing to be concerned about and the car was prepped for Motorvation.
With the car performing perfectly on Saturday Night (in my opinion one of the Skids of the Night) the car was on a mission for Sunday’s final.
Unfortunately something has let go in spectacular fashion with a Huge Explosion and engine bits left to pick up more than likely as a result of the oil line issue before hand.
Rest assured Matt will be back very soon.
