well last weekend ended kinda badly...
could of been worse I suppose 3 seperate incidents at the track one guy left on a flight for life and then after the race was over, one of the pro-haulers caught on fire and melted 4 cars to the ground (including a 26R lotus and a cooper formula) Attached thumbnail(s)

luckily I think its just body work
car wouldn't shift afterwards... so I've still got to verify that... but it looks like its only body work it tore a weld in the fender flare really was the same guy last year he hit me on the passenger rear quarter this time he hit dad on the drivers side rear quarter it was a hair pin (1st gear) corner... he ducked into a tight line to show his nose and was 1 car length back. He locked his brakes and slid in a straight line. Dad was driving the line and coming around the corner when suddenly tapped. another 10 inches and he would of missed completely and slid straight off of the track. Too bad he didn't swerve even a tiny bit. damn purple 356's...... I'm out for a couple of months until I get the body re-done, new paint, install the new motor, and re-corner balance (oh and look over the trans) brant |

You know the old story that a non-rotating wheel does not steer. I will be out at Steve White's place Saturday morning getting some 914 metal to practice on. I need enough to learn how to use my MIG. I'm sure that if there are the pieces that you need they will be available. Dave |
