That sucks

Its tough to come back from a mechanical failure. Especially when you might have other things that you have been putting off or would like to change while its all pulled apart. I think Dan is making the hard smart choice. You know he will only be faster when he is up and running again.

Stupid #1 or stupid #2 ?

This is exactly right. While it’s in the air, I need to step up from my 35 spline axles to 40. I’ve had odd wear with my slicks for some time now. The consensus is a bent housing or axles are flexing. The housing is perfect so that leaves one thing. Now I’m afraid the axle may break from fatigue. Makes me nervous. So the money for 42 will have to go towards the upgrade.......if I can even do that. It’s been a crappy year.

 

[MRHP]

Either or Ray. I’m not picky.

Call Max at Quick Performance for an axle quote... In Ames IA... These guys are straight shooters! 515.232.0126 do you have a back brace on your hsg?
My 35 spline are guaranteed to 1500 horsepower. The axles bearings and housing were $678 delivered to my house .

It's a Strange HD housing with a back brace and bracing on the bottom. I'm going with Strange for the 40 spline axles and spool. They are the second best out there (Mark Willams being first), they are fifteen minutes away, and I can get a bit of a discount.

Sweet, quick performance makes the heavy-duty housings too and they have larger axle tube diameters oh, and they also weld them solid inside and out. They use Calvert racing mounts brackets and purches ect. The street outlaws and the no prep guys use them all the time. THEY MAKE 3000 HP with pro chargers and turbos. Just a thought. Good luck!!!!

 

[1964SuperStocker]

my 31 spline is more than enough for my application. Unless my motor builder talks me into a stupid turbo/nitrous. Might create more problems than my wallet can handle.

The writer of the last 348/409 book will be at the Rock N Race taking pictures and gathering information to do an article on our cars that will be going into some magazines. So get those babies shined up and ready. I'm still reassembling mine trying to make it fast.

Bryan....would you please contact your track person....I left a message needing a pull thru camping spot and they have not called me back. I even called on a Thursday night race the their phone was full of messages!!!!!! Exasperating!!!!!
You have my number...give it to them and ask them to call me. Not going to come if I can't park at the track.
Thanks

 

[BRYAN FUGATE]

Don Moyer said just tell them at the gate that you need a pull through they will get you a spot. I'll call the track tomorrow as well
