Re: Any Racer live locally near Higgensville, MO or I-75/13
Got a charger, but when an employee if the shop offered me a ride to a Super 8 I grabbed my luggage, hygienic stu$f and a change of clothes. Everything else is in the truck. The truck is in the shop, up to the parts God's now and praying that overnight really means arrives in the AM...Been a comedy of errors ever since midnight last night. But the Truck, car, trailer are not wrecked. I was doing 70 towing when that started wobbling and grabbed the trailer brake lever and it was up on gain already...not a soul around me...anymore, just lights of 1 car back 4 to 5 miles and it went 70 to 20 in a flat second no tire squeeling or sliding.
That wheel bearing race was welded to the spindle and only thing holding the wheel on was the cotter pinnut and retaining washer.
So, schidt breaks and we fix it. It could have really dented a lot up...At least I can relate the story...it may have ended a lot worse and was steering perfectly until I hit 1 pot hole too many.
You see me drive in with that red white and blue Daytona on an open trailer at 7 AM Wednesday and have any extra people available I could sure use them for 10 mins please. A load of stuff to empty really fast out of the car, straps to undo (changing the oil tomorrow after > ck out here, while they fix the truck, but they cannot do much before that nuckle comes in.
Once I get the keys back fixed, hook up the trailer and still have map says 6 hrs 27 mins...without fuel stops so late Tuesday/early Wed. arrival is at this point best guess. Once in a pit unload car from trailer, 2 fronts to change and
air up. Fuel to ck, and get my credentials. I can make the Q1 and I'll clean up the mess later.
