I heard it "Pop" when he tried the first time to start it, then in the burnout out it sounded like it was still on eight. But as Brian said, Jason knew it was hurt. If it's Q3 you shut it off and push it back. Then again it's the final round at Pomona, would you shut if off, or stage it and hope for the best?
I know what I would do, same as him. A Racer is going to try to win the race.
