racing
Finished the new 540 This spring,made a few test passes and first race was in April.Second dail in pass the ring and pinion let go,took three or four weeks to put that back together and went to back the car out of the shop,no go.!! When the ring & pinion let go it took out the trans input shaft.Pulled the trans and went through it ,sent the converter back to PTC for a freshen up.
Went back to the track three weeks ago,made nine passes and got down to the last three cars,first full race in a year&half. Foot braking the car and got beat on the tree,my .015 to his .007.Good run ,and i was happy,put it in the money.!! 1/8 mile racing car is running 5.60s,went back two weekends ago first pass out of the trailer,the harmonic damper spit the guts out at the the stripe,(used innavator west damper)had clutches stuck in my brand new rad,and took out the trans cooler.Damn the luck.!!!!!32 year marriage is on the rocks ,but I'm going RACING in two weeks.!!!LOL
p.s. ran the car for five years and only changed the oil and plugs,never hurt a single part,go figure.?THAT'S RACING FOR YA.!!!!!!! :lol:
