AWE sheeet for REDGAR!! Not fun when this happens especially when you are 1000+miles from home. Get it running ASAP brUTAH!
The title had me a little worried for personal well-being.

Edgar..
Can you give us an update ? Any idea if its bad... (bottom end) or maybe you got lucky and only screwed up the valve train ?

You always hate when that happens but it's all a part of racing.
However not the good part.

That sucks. I feel really bad for you Edgar. Maybe he should leave it in florida and have it fixed there. That way the tow money goes to the repair and then he can take a second trip down there and drive it backup :confused:
Hope all works out :(

Friday night Edgar ran through some deep water last night, and sucked up water, and hydrolocked the motor. The car is at a dealer, but Edgar is making arangements to rent a U-haul and tow it home. But he did get to race today. Eklers let him drive there test car because they wanted to swap intakes to test them. But he went out first round.

Oh and he wasn't even racing it when it ingested the water. so you can't even write it off as "just racing" :nonod:

That might be covered by his auto insurance....I think ? He wasn't racing, so it can be classified as an accident !
