Wards bullet with Keith's bling....bling that works as good as it looks

Where are you testing, Ward?

Prob. Holiday Beech on sat.
Come on up ! It would be good to see ya.

I raced at Holiday Beach once last year. Good time.

If schedule allows, I'll be there.

Cool it will be good to see you. Could use you thoughts on chassis Weather looks kind of iffy. Strange this much rain in August.

Not much info on the track's website. What time do you plan to be there?

I think gates open at 3 pm. It is a pretty good grudge race. I'm not sure what all the have going on. They have a good race. We go most yrs. it is a good set up to get track time. I'll prob be there around 4 or 430.

Enjoined seeing everybody. Wish it would have been a better day. Got the car back out. Found a problem with the shifter. But then the rains came. We waited a bit. The track was still wet at 9. Looked like more rain on way so we came on in.

It was nice to hang out with everybody again....

David it was good meeting you.

I'd hoped for Ward to put on a better show Little new car blues and Mother Nature pre-empted a stellar performance. It was fun getting together with a few of the guys, tho. Ward, keep us posted when you're going back out.

Btw....the car is BADASS.

I'm going deep sea fishing this weekend if the hurricane stays out of the gulf. Spent yesterday afternoon in the shop changing the shifter. It is ready to head back to the track. I have ADD. I get frustrated bit don't last long.

If the weather from yesterday stays around you'll have it smooth offshore...

It's easy to get frustrated after pouring your money, blood, sweat & tears into your car, only to have unforeseen b.s. send you home from the track. I have a good friend who nearly sold me his racecar (for $100) out of frustration at the track...only to finally discover that the source of his woes was a loose fuse in the switch panel. Naturally, I'd have sold it back to him the next day...but I nearly owned it for about 12 hrs.

Ward, did you go with a completely different shifter or another of the same type? 'Glides can be really fussy about linkage adjustment, can't they?

When lined out and tuned, that thing will be scary fast.

The car had a lenco trans in it. I didn't want to remove the bracing and mount. The lower bracket was welded to chassis. It had the cable in a tight spot. The offending bracing was removed and it has a reg power glide bracket is on it. I hope it is the fix.
