I was at US41 with the Slowski's this Saturday when I get a call from Larry Jeleniewski he is at Bryon for the wheelstand contest and he told me the trans case is cracked. He asked can we fix it by Sundays race, I said sure, get the car to my shop.

I had a 904 pre built at the shop, you might have seen it in the transmissions for sale here on moparts. Larry gets to the shop, we swap out the transmission and get on on the trailer and back on the way to Bryon (3 hour drive) by 10:30 pm
Well Larry did a 660 foot wheel stand, set a new track record and won the 10g pay out. Congrats Larry

A Chivvy buddy of mine calls me right after the wheelstand and tells me to look for it on Youtube, congrats guys!


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Just goes to show, 900 lbs. of lead in the trunk really does work!!
10 grand payout is great! Forget bracket racing, just enter wheel stand contests!
