Default No Racing Tonight for the Hot Rod

Well, we have a trans problem. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

We have no 3rd gear. We think that we have a bend shift fork. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

We removed the shifter stops when we installed the new trans because we were having a hard time getting the trans to go into gear. Not a very good idea. <img border="0" alt="[shoot]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" />

Madman is now seeing if we can get someone in Houston to fix it before this weekend. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Damn, I want to race this weekend in something other than the tow truck. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Thanks guys.

We removed the shift stops because we could not get her into gear when we 1st put the motor back in. This is not a very good idea. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Madman, will have her fixed so we can go out and test at Lone Star Raceway Park Friday night for the points race there on Saturday. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Then I will race in a $2,500.00 to win footbrake class at Temple Academy Dragway on Sunday. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Racing Season is here! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
