Yes Twister melted 3 pistons, We had been dialing in setting with Twister getting used to running slicks, This weekend we were running with superchrged outlaws and raced against Lee Galimore, did a great 300ft side by side burnout came back into stage and Andy went for it, Andy was just at the 1/8th mile doing 131mph in 5,86 sec when the inlet manifold gasket decided it did not like the pressure and blow out on three pots, leaning the motor out and melting those pistons, while at shakey we pulled the motor to bits to check damage to save time when Andy got home making it quicker for him to order parts as we are out again at Dragstalgia on the 15th July and Andy has a weeks Holiday booked in between, Pistons are now ordered and should be here from the states on thursday, bores and heads are all OK , So we got of lightly, Twister will be back stronger and faster , so the 7`s will come soon
