    I agree valleyracer...

    I am just waiting for my little 28 spline and mini-spool, and small lug bolts to let go. I really got nervous after seeing what happend to "maverickrunner" (Todd) at the nationals this year. Those things can sure take a pounding!

    Todd's broke due to the violent wheel hop he had. I was linning up beside him and it was so bad it caught my attention out of the cornor of my eye.

    I guess I am scaling my race schedule down too. Not for any reason other than I ain't ready.
    The way it is looking, m first pass in the car this year will be at the round-up.............new paint, new gears, new alternator(well, kinda new), new wheels, new passenger seat, and a new shiny little blue bottle in the trunk! :D

    Ok got a question about my three wheeled run. After we were back at the hotel Rudy ask me if I knew that one of my traction bars was missing its rubber cone thingy (where it meets the springs). It was on before we started to race and my car has never hopped like that before (when the wheel came off). Would that caused the bad wheel hop, one side making contact and the other side didnt contact the spring.

    Hey John tell your twin brother Ward that I am just about ready fo him....could be done this weekend (if I am home this week) or April 3 it can be at his house....its up to him...:D
