After the long awaited weekend and a mad thrash to get everything ready, the time arrived, Friday all went well and the car seemed to be running like a champ tranny worked great converter is stalling a little higher than I expected tho, but it seem's to work well, my 60ft dropped to a consistant 1.38, knocking .03 off the 60ft, but it came on like gangbuster's to the 330ft by knocking a full tenth off that incremental, and picked a solid 1.5 tenths in the 1/4 mile and picked up 3 mph, I stayed out of the gambler's race because I was invited to the racer appreciation race and didn't want it to interferre with each other,,,,got tossed in the weed's first round and went back to the trailer for a burger and a drink and relaxed,,,friday brought 4 time runs, with two of those being 10'oh qualifiers, first hit was a dismal..131 light, need to try harder, next one was a .009 light, , at 10.09,ok I'm ready, first pass in the 10,oh race I went -.001 red,, so as I was coasting down after the finish line I thought ,,ok just get into the gambler's race as I rounded the turn, I stepped on the gas and and much to my suprise the engine reved but didn't pick up speed ,,looks like I broke somthing inside the tranny or snapped the pinion in the rear ,,well it end's up being the tranny, broke somthing inside, no forward or reverse, so that makes a short weekend for me,,time to go visit some friend's

Sorry to hear, I've seen several cars lately that upped the power and started breaking driveline pieces. Which tranny was it?

Bummer Bill... sounds like you were zeroing in on the tree

That sucks about the tranny Bill.
Was Gary able to give you any helpful info on the front end issues?

Eric

Do you still have second and third?

If so my money's on the front drum/clutch pack.

Did you check the cble/linkage?

Too bad about the terminal damage, Bill, but it was fun hanging out with you and the others last weekend! You have a cameo in one of the videos I posted on YouTube, by the way!

Sorry to hear that Bill. That sucks

it really sucks to break and not be able to race that was to bad

i offered to pull the 904 out of the Dart for ya, with only a few bolts holding it in for mockup.

there was enough of us there we could of changed it in minutes and had you back out and running.

i had already started pulling parts off for other racers

Shoot I'm sure we could have changed it out in time. Shoot we helped Rob Lawson change trannies Saturday nite.

It was nice to see you again Bill, I didn't know you were having tranny problems.

I was there Sat night.

Bout a 5 min job to swap em out

Bill, get the spare in it and lets go down to Clay City together.

that happened to me,,it was the converter,,check that too

bill,check the lugs on the front pump gear.bet it sheared them off.A&A makes a nice billet gear so that won't happen again.may not have as much damage as your thinking.

Sorry to hear of your bad Luck Bill.
I also want to Thank You for loaning me the money to get into the 10.0 shoot out till I got my wallet from the trailer. I Really Appreciate your Kindness. Since we have never really talk before this happened that is Very Nice of you to do.
Thanks Again David
