MIGHT miss the next race. I'm not giving up hope until it's time to leave...

MW has my yoke, and they have sent me the blueprint to sign off on, so now I'm just waiting for a phone call to say it's done. If I have to have it shipped next day air, I will, if it means making it to the track over Memorial Weekend. If it's not done, I'll hook up to the camper, and spend a weekend with my friends at the track anyways.

Looks like you got pretty lucky.

I broke one last year - missed my leg by inches.

Took out alot of stuff including transbrake button and tailshaft.

Not enough!

Sorry to see that Jeff. Glad to see it wasn't a lot worse.

69Dart, Did you have a driveshaft loop near the front universal joint?

I broke a rear U joint around 6800 RPM in 2nd gear just before the shift, that about shook my teeth out shock puke whiney
If you race long enough your probably going to break some parts, just pray when it does you don't hurt the car, you or anyone else luck
