This year sucks

Well after all the problems we have had this year we have something else to work on. Saturday morning on our 1st time run the car shook real hard 100 feet out and the kid pulled it over an we broke 1/3 of the the theeth on the ring gear. Man after this the only thing that's not new is the body panels and the wheels and tires . Rough year is all I can say.

On the bright side ACE your avatar is finally right side up. I thought I was the only one who was having a rough year. Car I help out on has had everything from ignition issues to trailer tire flats,to a tree falling on the tow vehicle, a fuel pump to a hole in a brand new slick. They have been to 2 races this summer without any issues and I was not at either one of them . I think I am the Jinx.............

Chin up, man. One time I had a year when we changed everything but the radio station.  Then it all levelled off and we ran pretty much trouble free for over two years. 

I have chased carb. problems all year and finally got those figured out Sunday. Then I think I broke the converter. To top it off I have won 1 round of racing this year since I bought the box from you. I feel your pain!

I finally figured out how to NOT break any parts and haven't for 3 yrs.

But you got to race it before you start braking parts again

Well it looks like a complete new center section as Strange does not have any meat in the case that would support the horsepower we are now making! Who the hell builds a dragster and our in light duty shit!!!! I have a 6.0 chassis but 9 second junk!
Thank to my buddy at Mark Williams ill have a new center section today not 2 weeks like strange told me yesterday
