    Well, personally, I don't see the big deal in having a large time. I have a large time every minute of the day. Everywhere I go, I'm large.;)

    great story Ray, I enjoyed the read.
    It shows the true passion of a racer (car guy) to endure all of that to make a few passes.
    Sounds like you represented yourself well.......now if you ever get serious about racing, get rid of the 3rd pedal :bananaman

    Yeah yeah yeah...I know. I still like it too much when the racers come up to my car and say..."You got a 4 speed in that thing???" :bouncy:
    I'm too old to get serious about racing. Just enjoy having fun with it. :)

    You can race with a 4-speed. You just need to become Ronnie Sox to do it consistently. :bowdown:

    And I'm getting better with it. My goal when I went there was to run between 7.0 to 7.10. My two good passes after the axle mishap were 6.97 and 7.03. I feel good about that. :)

    Dave, how bout I sell it to you for say...oh...$400 (cost of new axles) and you can go in business for yourself...for the second time. :) The world needs new Maverick axle key chains and I think you'd do great!!! I think you've been needing a new project. And the best thing...I take Paypal! :)

    Good reading, Ray. Excellent photo of your car too! :thumbs2:

    (We both know you'll have C4 and 4500 stall converter to drop in just for the race next time. ;) )

    Better luck next time. (y)

    As much of a pain in the ass it is to take that z-bar in and out...I doubt it! :( I'm ready for a cable clutch. :cool:
