Took the car to Tri State Raceway in Earlville, Iowa last Saturday. First test run found the weak link in the 7.5 rear. Heated the tires, staged the car and loaded the converter to 2000 rpm, lights came down and nothing. I did break the beams as my friend told me I cut a 047 light. I was told by a track official that a u- joint broke but I didn't hear any thing banging around. Turned out the two small pinion gears let go in the rear. Time for a Ford 9".
