Motion broken axle crew check in here

**mhassett** · #1 09-05-2006, 04:29 AM

Hey just wanted to give a big thanks to everyone for diving in and getting a replacement axle in my car.

There literally was a swarm of people helping, so I am missing several people.

Thanks; Mark Milchak (drove 40 min 1 way to get an axle)Brian Henderson, Joe B, Joe S, Morocco, Steve, Kim H (workbench lol), Chris Short, etc...

2 Guys drove my son to get gear lube.

Barnhart, Rayburn P, J Jarvis, and others loaned us some much needed tools.

Think I counted 25 people at one time so check in so I can thank everyone.

Post some pics if you have them.

Mark I would have done it for anyone... I'm just glad that it was only an axle and not something else... I'm sure glad you son was on the ball when he decided not to travel the quarter with the car in that situation... That could have been pretty ugly... I hope you will put some stronger axles in the car and try the slicks again... I'll see you next year. Mark

Mark, to see that car running so hard that it twists axles off like they were made of chewing gum is just flat out awesome. Anyone who says these cars are just "investments" and that the interest in them is going to go away should change their mind in about 30 seconds at any SCR Friday afternoon. I think I can speak for everyone helping out that it was cool to be able to get it all back together and ready to kick some more a$$ with the limited resources available, although I must admit that Howie's tailgate made a pretty good workbench.

Besides that, how many guys can honestly say they worked on a Phase III Baldwin Motion car? (even if it was with 3 flatblade screwdrivers, a 3/8" drive extension and a claw hammer.

)

no way was that Howie's truck we were working on!!..I did'nt see one crushed beer can in the bed...he must have borrowed it from the neighbor... the clutch pack springs put up a fight but we prevailed. like the guys said no guy left behind and it was fun to get dirty out playing.

Budnate, 7:00 that night I parked next to Capt. Carls truck which we sat on the tail gate. The back of the box became a can box. The next day 50+ cans and pizza box was in the back of it.

Not surprised......These guys would give you the shirt off their backs! They did the same for me and I am sure they will do it again for someone else!

TRUE CLASS ACTS!!
