broke my K-member

WADS56 · 05-21-2001, 12:57 AM

I went to the track this Saturday to test out my new drag springs. I couldn't get the times that I did last time, but my 60ft times droped to a 1.46! My car would launch hard for the first 60ft, but soon as the front end started do drop I would loose traction. Anyways, when I got it to the pits to check everything over I noticed that the K-member cracked in 2 places where the drivers side motor mount bolts up. Good thing I saw that because it sure would suck if it came loose it would of trashed my headers, hood, and everything else that got in it's way.

Good thing you found that little problem is right, that could of been a little harry going through the traps at the wrong time.

Now you can get that tubular K-member and A arms...wish mine would break

Is that what was causing you to miss second the last couple passes before that Wade? By the way... we got a video of the last time that happened and you threw your arms up like you were ready to kill somebody

I have blackmail material now MUAHAHAHA!!! Just kidding.

Anyway, I hope you get her fixed back up soon.

We're planning another meet but it will be in Terre Haute at the 1/8th mile track for a few hours then head to the park for a cookout and a cruyise afterwards. It sure would be great to see you make it to that, but I know you probably don't want to drive it around town that much.

Also, when are you goiong to use that MustangWarehouse gift certificate? You better get on that or order me something with it

I'm not sure why I couldn't hit second... that is the simple one! Maby my trans fluid is low, or I broke something, I could of been trying to hard I'll look at it this week.

I think I am going to get some crome pipes for my 93 with the gift certificate.
