That really sucks, but that's racing for you!
On another note, how does one blow up 3 LS motors in one weekend?

Probably similar to how one goes through two clutches....
bad luck and a little "hero driver" action.
I dunno. A E36 M3ty day at the racetrack is still a E36 M3ty day. When I have a E36 M3ty day doing something I love, it makes it even worse- it's like you should have stored up all your good days.
When do you guys just call it quits? Like- Ok boys, we've had enough. No sense in pushing this right over the cliff.
Does it help that I'm still jealous of your job?
Sorry hear about that Duke . . . I would still take a E36 M3ty day with Trans Am cars over days keeping developers from breaking websites and running rogue code on enterprise critical servers . . .
Still need to come up there and bother you. LOL Lemme know when you're good and settled. Sorry to hear about the crappy weekend.

Oh man, I hope you had an extra set of those damn cross brackets from the spliter to frame for that incident because I know they were berkeleyed right there. I swear trying to straighten those stupid things easily wasted an hour of wrenching time on Tom's car at RA. Then Chris said, "Hey why don't you just get a new set."
Motherberkeleyer.
In reply to Anti-stance:
Hahaha! I ended up with "The Decision Maker" (big berkeleying hammer) and beating the piss out of them to make them straight again. Went thru 2 splitters this weekend.
If there is any good news to bring from this weekend, I get a killer LS1 with a hole the size of my head in the block/pan to keep. Going to make it a coffee table. 
nice followthrough!
Heartbeatuvva'murrica. Sorry dude. When it pains, it roars. Way to plug through it.
Rough day racing still whoops the best day at a desk.
You have to let us know when you are coming to Mid Ohio mate.

I'll let you know. It's the same weekend we share with Nascar, think Nationwide, and ALMS. Think it's in June or July. You can come meet our Aussie Hotshoe Geoff Fane!

Count me in, I can even make coffee for the workers if needed
Sucks to hear that...that is indeed a bad day at the track.
While not as bad as that, we did have one pretty bad at Road Atlanta one year. We had two cars in the old Speedvision Cup, and one was hit from behind and taken out before the green flag. It went bouncing around off the concrete wall on the start/finish straight and several of the cars behind hit it as well. Needless to say it was totalled and the guy driving was having his first race with us.
Our other car was leading by almost the entire back straight when the sky opened up as we were just coming out from under the bridge. It went off in the rain at turn 12 and broke the rear suspension. At least it was better than the first car, it was a large red paper weight afterwards.

I'll be at Mid O, too. I can't wait to see the Nationwide guys trying to foot it around that course.
