Have to mention that I dislike the time spent at the drags but when help is needed it is a great community. Without fail someone or many step up to help. We have just recently had a new race motor built in USA, my hubby fitted this over several weekends into the race car shell, with mods to get the motor in and finally after a few false starts, running.
Two or three passes later the old gear box broke, it was sort of going to happen, it should have stood up to the new motor but as it is an old box it was inevitable that it would fail.
This only two days before the Nationals, so the boys pulled the gear box out and called in a few favours, which included busy people becoming even busier as last minute problems get fixed.
Today will see the new box fitted and hopefully we will get all the way down the track again, I am not expecting any wins, as we have so much more to do before the car is competative again but with the help of many friends, we will at least get a chance to gather the race data we need and gain the points for attending, which if consistent can lead to winning track champ again this year.
