I will be able to get it fired next Friday. I just have to put the radiator and intake/headers in, and wire in the box/trans brake button. :shock:

With a brake AND a 150 shot I bet I can really tear up some shyt now. :lol: :roll: :twisted:

Ouch! Sorry to hear that Ron. I hope you get it up and running again soon. Was it all that extra power from your new Bamboozler that put you over the top? :wink:

Hope you didn't over rev the engine, and hurt that. What kind of times are you running this year?

I talked to Mike last night. I may leave the box out and run mine on a 100 shot in Pro just to get some laps on it. Not sure, but I am gonna try to get to a T&T Saturday to feetsbrake it and get a few runs down on moder. :D

Doint know have to wait and see about the trans and what damage was done. If it means a new trans probally put in the trans brake and delay box two step the full package. If the flexplate is all that let go we might try to footbrake one more year for a national title. Also it is according to what my friend Rodney is going to do. Thanks Ron Parker :D
