1st pass in morning engine spit out a freeze plug.....water under tires at half track....kid was hanging on ....went right then left...i could see the whole size of the car.....and slid to a stop in the center of the track...the other guy was late on the light so he missed her...took out one of the timing cones and was wedged under car...lol
and we forgot the gopro camera.

That's a good looking car, Sir.
Car ran great...made 3 passes....10.35s and 10.38....air not as good as yesterday but no problems....
Car goes back into garage to get Dana 60 installed....engine pushing 7100 rpm with 4.56 gear...Dana has 4.30s....but if it slows down...I will put a 2.74 1st gear back in the 904 .....
Next race is MATS.....as there is no racing until Sept...cheap asses dont want to night race in summer and turn the lights on......

The bracket had already been welded on went I found out I ordered the wrong width.....Thought I was going to be done tomorrow but I forgot inner wheel seal...so placed an order with the Doctor...and i need a combo u joint for another project...

back to real life.....pretty much got the Dana 60 installed...need to swap out new brake lines due to the different lengths..,,,,
with everything installed I messured from axle flange to axle flange....was looking for 48 inches...and bingo got 48 inches....
need to swap out rims....remove tires and tubes from existing rims and go to 15 x 10 with 3.5 inch BS...time to get the old HF tire changer working again and the bubble balancer...

Looking at the 904 that ate the overrunning clutch....I see why i love the 904...this trans had a bolt in sprag......unbolted the 7 screws and bingo it falls on the table...no damage to the case at all...
This 904 made two passes with burnouts with the overrunning clutch damaged....should have that one back together next week as I am waiting for parts....
