Later this afternoon, I'll go out to the barn, open the trailer door and give it a swift kick in the a$$. Close the trailer and walk back to the house.

Bummer.....Have a pile of parts you might be interested in?
was that a cast crank? Seen this a few times usally snaps at the 2/6 or the 3/7 location.
Dropped a valve at 120....so smoke no warning ....wheeeeee.

1960's crank, I think it used up all nine lives.

Dang Mark if it wasn't for no luck you wouldn't have any luck. Just think you can build it bigger and better now. >:D

They say practice makes you better. By now you'd think you should be able to build a monster.

All I currently know is that the crank is broken. What caused it will be determined sometime in the future.
 
Re: Who wants to see video of a 289 grenading?

That's true....today I've learned that :Mark has a very expensive hobby.
 
Re: Who wants to see video of a 289 grenading?

Mark,

That sucks. First event of the year and all... Ugh. Like John said, at least it wasn't in a braking zone and pitch you off into a wall. Motors are easy to build, body work not so.

If you think of any way I can help please let me know.
