Sounds good John. Enjoy and can't wait to hear how the trip to the drags work out.

There's a Cobra in town with a good story to tell.

I'm still looking for him again.

I got a surprise for a certain Viper at Firebird on Saturday night. Last year he had 12.8 on the window, I had a 12.9. Last time out on April 7th, I got me a 12.5 with a slipping clutch. Nyuck, Nyuck.

Well, things didn't go so well at Firebird. I would have posted earlier but the (*^$*^& server was down again.

I popped (and I mean it popped too) a half shaft u-joint on the first run at the starting line. Made it all the way down the track at about 20 mph with the tail end wagging when I gave it the slightest gas. Had to be towed home and when I got the shaft out it was damaged on one flange. After removing it, one of the u-joint legs had broken and the other cap was blown out.

WVZR-1 has me hooked up with another and I have the non-greasable Spicer U-Joints on the way. I'll get him fixed and try again later.

Damn John. That sucks. Time to replace all the u-joints. Get the shaft balanced as well since you took some damage.

As I mentioned I'm buying another. I'm thinking it shouldn't need balanced, but I have no experience with this. I'll check tomorrow to see if I can get it done here.
