Fiberglass hood?

way off, im telling you, JT just went on a diet.... alot has changed in a year, just wait a few more days, it will all become soooooo clear at SDAC :D
Right
Interested to see how the 26's effect driveline health. Hondas are usually afraid to run them because it runs up the cost to compete as few can afford all the repairs. That said our 60's all seem very weak in comparison on similar size tires. I know they all run 13" rims like Reeves and I don't really like the idea of fitment on 13" rims for a non L body.
I didn't have problems with 15" rims and 24.5's @ 8 psi but those were M/T's. Our track guys might just be used to the flat slicks. Only random people walking through the pits talking to car owners seemed worried. I think I broke an axle every time I can vividly remember running 8 psi in the tires. :yuck:
Our 60's are weak cuz our cars weigh wice as much as a civic, at least mine does.

Too bad it broke, the one and only run made it the 2nd fastest car behind Slowes BSX
Reverse had been chattering ever since the twin disk went in... if its a quick fix, will race again soon... if broke bad, gonna build another trans
Glad the forward gears still work and was able to drive onto the trailer, LOL
Will be awaiting the carnage shots ;)
That's funny, I remember mentioning to you at the car show that I thought I heard you went a .50 something! HA!
That's the first time I've heard of reverse breaking!
It appears that the bearing backup plate bolt to the left of the input shaft (looking at the end of trans) worked itself out (aluminum threads came with it) and allowed the input shaft to push back causing less engagement (maybe 50%) between the reverse gear and input shaft. Pics to come
