I needed a centerlink for my Dart to make this weekends race - yesterday I asked Fred if he knew where to get one and today its in my hands. Top that Jegs!

Big thanks to welderboy who offered one up gratis, and to Somerdale Flash and abodyjoe who went out of their way to courier it.

These guys are showing the spirit that really keeps this hobby alive, and I hope to be able to return some of that.

Now what you don't know about this special delivery is that right after Welderboy pulled out the link for you he jumped on a plane and headed out of town. That's why Flash and ABJ jumped at the chance to pick it up from Mrs. Welderboy. The women in South Jersey are never safe when these two guys are out together.

Can you imagine all the "Blocking" that was hapening on the ride to pick the link up ?

At least the head blocker will be in Aruba for a couple of days.

The centerlink is in, looking good to race Sunday! Just need to tame the launch down to keep from bustin more stuff. What you guys don't realize is I am an adrenaline junkie and how much more adrenaline you're helping me to experience before the winter racing break!


Oh did anyone else know a pickle fork won't pull a tie rod end if the nut and cotter pin are still on?

There is interference when approaching full right lock as expected but otherwise OK, I will have to live with that.

I did re-check alignment and its now 3/8" toe-in, where it was 5/16" toe-out with the old centerlink, so the old link must have been tweaked though you can't see it. I will reset for 1/16" toe-in at static height or maybe 1" above. As I recall my car toes-in more as you raise it. I don't want it toed-in a lot accelerating down track, but I also don't want it toeing out when on the brakes. I plan to limit the front travel a lot more which will also limit the amount of toe change to deal with.

I should mention that I believe the centerlink got tweaked on a hard wheelie landing.
