...always finding the next weak link?
Sorry to hear the news, but more glad to hear you're ok, still full of fight and ready to race. Saw some Internet pics of 390 AMX that blew it's stock flywheel on a dragstrip not long ago; had big holes in the cowl area just below the windshield and tore up the headers underneath. (no safety bell) -Fortunately driver was not hurt. |
