Failure can just happen, regardless of inspection. Parts fail. What, do you sonic test your block and heads every week? Do you open the rear up and pull it apart? Do you rebuild the trans weekly too? Let me guess, you also have a full Rumul testing facility too, just to make sure everything is at 100%. Bragging about only breaking one thing doesn't make YOU any better than anyone else.

As has already been said, you took the new-ish comment the wrong way, it was only meant as related to this forum. I understand mechanics perfectly well, and without knowing any background you really shouldn't make assumptions. I also run a 7-second dragster at Island, and I'd really like to know who your friend is, because I guarantee he is a friend of mine as well. Weekly inspections only go so far, and you cannot tell me that equipment doesn't fail. You name me any of the drivers in super at Island, and I will tell you when they had something break. It happens.
I also have no idea if you get off on the name calling thing. Calling me ignorant and saying that I'm bragging about something is completely uncalled for. Nowhere in any of my posts was I "bragging." I stated a fact, to show that in all actuality, damage to run ratio is actually pretty low. I could "brag" about a lot of things, but I choose not to. If I didn't know how to drive, people would not come up to me and ask me to run their cars, either to see what the car will run, to jump into a gamblers race, or simply because they want to see their car go down the track. If I was ignorant, and didn't know how to drive, I wouldn't have been asked to drive a $100,000 pro-mod car, which I turned down because I didn't trust the mechanics on the car.
Enough with the name calling and derogatory comments. It's completely unnecessary in life and on this board, and are only used to make the person throwing them feel better about themselves.

at one time in its life. It decided it needed a room with a view, and windowed the oil pan of an 8 second 67 Camaro I was driving. I was around 1000' on the track, about 140 mph, and got the car stopped without hitting the guardrail. That was a wild ride I hope I never have to go on again. Oily 14" slicks are no fun to stop on.

Listen, the first time I broke your car, I wasn't even driving it. I didn't even sit in it. Your bird just spontaneously poops itself when I'm around

sometimes you step in it, other times you sink in it up to your neck and don't know what to do.
