The Workcar is dead

88workcar · 01-20-2003, 06:56 AM

A friend of mine races a camaro, his car is not quite finished from the winter rebuild. He had a points race Sat. and no car. I said "friend", so I told him to take mine. I have been hunting every weekend so I didn't need the car. He came to the boat ramp while I was at the camp and swaped out the car for his truck. I was on the deer stand and got the call, Where do you want the wrecker to drop the car? I asked what happened, he said ol just an axle. I guess those 1.55s 60fts have taken there toll. It was moser axles in there, but its time for new ones. He gave me the money till I can pay him back but I will order new ones today. He wants to pay for it but I would have broke on me just the same. Well he got some points regaurdless.

Who has the best price on axles?

Man you one hell of a friend.

As far as axles go for me Summit is the only way to go.

you ARE one hell of a friend. Theres no way I would let a friend take my car without me there, let alone to a dragstrip. And then not really get upset when it broke? WOW

anyway, I got my 28 spline superior axles from summit for about $218. I believe the 31 or 33 spines werent too much more expensive.

He is going to borrow it again on Feb 8th if his car is not finished. I put a stock axle back in it tonight. This will get me by till the fresh pair come in. Yes me and Paul are good freinds, even though he is a Chevy guy. Corey let me borrow the 89grocerygetter, to go to work today. That thing is bad, rollon third and breakem loose

Hey if your looking for some more friends to borrow your car...let me know.

88workcar · 01-22-2003, 08:59 PM

I let the local king of rice take it for a spin last week, he now hates his car. Ant, if we ever meet, you can borrow it. You should see the looks I get at the boat ramp.

Well i guess he doesnt have to worry about "power" if you know what i mean!

I tow a boat every weekend, hunting. I also was towing my 4 wheeler to the track, till I traded it for the supercharger.

I ordered a set of mosers, hope they make it for fri.
