Title: 3rd place finish followed by breakage
Post by: biged681985 on August 30, 2010, 06:12:53 am: i pulled last night and finished 3rd in work stock. tried my luck in the 2.6 class, and made it 1 foot. ended up breaking the front u-joint when i started to let off the brakes. the rear tires spun, and hen i started to back off, the rear pinon snapped smooth off. the front drive shaft took out the trans pan and shift linkages

vids to come soon

That's a pretty sh!tty weekend, sorry to hear about your buddy and to the one that lost their grandma. Yeah, it sucks the trucks broke, but compared to everything else, it aint nothing.

Hope things turn around.
