Crew Chief talking with driver in an effort to explain an engine failure to the car owner/sponsor.
Crew Chief: now driver what exactly happened?
Driver: Well I dumped the clutch and the bit*h hooked real hard off the line, when I grabbed 2nd. gear she lit the tires up and over revved the motor, then next thing I know BOOM !! the engine blew up and scattered parts everywhere.
Owner to Crew Chief: now Chief, you know I don't understand all those technical and mechanical terms you all use, but what exactly did "your driver" do to "my" car.
Crew Chief to Owner: Well you see the car launched real well off the line and then as the weight transferred forward the driver was shifting into second gear the rear tires experienced a very sudden and unexpected extreme loss of adhesion. This was so violent and sudden it caused the engine to exceed the safe limits of the RPM range and as such the Block was unable to contain all of it's internal parts.
