Well it was not that bad. I broke the ring gear off the flexplate. Ended my divisional this weekend however. Not really what I was hoping for. We had made some changes and were running well. Put on a new throttle stop and changed converter back to an old reliable one and had high hopes. This morning on the pass the ring gear broke I went 11.03 at just under 157 in 2900+' of air. Not to bad. Oh well we will get ready for next year.

Oh yeah I also broke a mounting ear off of a brand new alternator, so looks like about a $1700 weekend YAY!!! I did get my new chassis cert. As well as new back tires so it will be ready for some future abuse by someone else here in a couple of weeks Guess I better get it back together so he can have some fun with it

Glad it wasn't serious other than the loss of the weekend. Same thing happened to me last time out- broken rocker, junk in the motor.

Billy there were 50 cars there from what I saw on the sheet. Seemed like more. Now that first round has been rescheduled til tomorrow maybe we can make it out as I now have a flexplate for it.

Chris JJ blew his motor up last weekend.

Hate to hear about the breakage. But good to hear you can make first round. Maybe that is a sign you were meant to be in this race.
