I was just thinking on how the plug may have failed in the first place. I was doing a demo at the Steel Valley (Friendship) Dragstrip in Ohio this weekend. It is a very small and old backwoods 1/8 mile track. Like a dummy I did not walk the track, and assumed that it was smooth since people go fast there.. Ha!... As soon as I hit the finish line I got launched about a foot in the air from a big crack in the asphalt. After I got done checking for discolored underwear, I was able to get one more start for another run, but had to shutdown while they rebooted their Windows based timing system. (chuckle, chuckle) . The next start blew me off with a red flashing ignition indicator.

I guess I am lucky I didn't shake more than that loose on the landing.. or the abrupt takeoff, for that matter.
