Right back at you Aaron, I'm still in awe of how well the Chevelle does, C5 brakes work amazing on that car. Your sure not afraid to lean on that thing!!! Still think I liked your line better.

Appreciate that Ron. I'm just a mid-pack guy at best, having an absolute blast trying though. After all the laps at Gingerman, both open session and on Friday, I've determined I'm in need of ...:morepower

No matter what line I took, I maxed at 118mph each session. So I'm sure I'm givin' her all she had. I haven't looked, but my toe boards are probably bulged out from pressing the go pedal so hard. My time kept dropping, but I was making it up everywhere but the straights.

I'm sooo bummed I was not able to attend with the Nova this year :-( , but that's life!! I have time now over the fall/winter to finish the build at something less than a neck breaking speed and do things at a pace that will allow me to change my mind on some aspects if desired. Glad you guys had a great time, hope to see you in Vegas!!

Having the weirdest time with this car. G Force called yesterday and said they didn't see anything wrong with this trans. When it broke, one of the other racers pitted next to me helped push it on the trailer. I asked if he would look under and see if the drive shaft was turning when I let out the clutch and the horrible grinding noise occurred, he said it wasn't. Has to be the transmission right? Since then I've pulled the clutch(perfect), pulled the rear just in case the other racer was wrong, disassemble the Waveloc(perfect), and checked the drive plates(perfect). I even thought maybe the yoke stripped, but it was perfect.

Either someone at G Force is blind, or I am, kind of baffled at this point. Hoping to go up and look at the trans my self later to day. Weird!!

How about the input shaft bushing/bearing in the crankshaft.... Or the Throwout bearing...

Got car back together with minutes to spare for the Ohio Muscle Car Challenge, squeaked out a 2nd place on the road course. Amazing what rear brakes and some decent tires will do for a mediocre driver.

Oh boo hoo.... just ask Charley -- your brakes were "FINE".



Good to hear it worked out for ya.

Odd to see green grass at a race track in August.
Nice goin' Ron. :thumbsup:

Congrats on the second place Ron Well Done!!!
Was the trans the problem?

Weirdest thing, no it ended up being the clutch. The clutch looks brand new, like it just came out of the box, but something failed. I think the metal tore behind the friction material where I can't see it.
