The dates aren't an issue just camp sites. Will have to continue to watch or we will camp at dueces. Maybe try that new camp ground if its open by then.

I bet that was music to his ears!  It's a shame that he has to do the repairs but as Jon said,it was self inflicted this time. I was looking forward to chasing him around that last run.

Has anyone let Adam or Justin know?  I haven't noticed them logged in recently. For that matter how about Jerry?  Who else can we/should we invite?

Working with Mike at Gear Vendors and sending the Jeff in next week. They still highly support this transmission and have made improvements like cryogenics on the gear-set, bearing improvements and better oiling to the top gear..somehow... ?
Curious on that one..
Anyhow, happy it is going to battle another day. It has been holding up great at 16psi, until I sent some undesirable shock-load into the side of the case with u-joints past their limit at very high speed..
Stupid geometry..

It's only money they say.  Glad to hear you will be able to keep your setup. With improvements as well!

Cost can become a bother when I add it all up over the years, that is one seriously expensive little gearbox..
But that no longer matters.. Alan has been waiting 5 years for a ride in the rail. This is the way.  ;D

Never keep up on what a entire project cost, but when it come down to individual components like this I have to start weighing it out if an alternative is available cheaper than throwing another 3500 inside the teardrop shaped little effer..

Interesting the shape of a Jeffco as I cry in my wallet lol..

if i am remembering correctly......$2500 was seans favorite number for installing the updates while repairing the box. gear vendors might be $3500. everything thing has gotten expensive!

16 psi huh....... damn....i have never ridden in that rail running over 8 psi so i cannot imagine!

i don't even want to know how much i have spent on my rail over the years  rofl

I stopped running low ,low 7 second 1/4 mile dragster because it was just getting too expensive to go any faster. Big dummy I was. It would have been many times less expensive to have just bought a new dragster and went ape shit crazy with nitro. Nothing cheap about this sport. I just priced a new set of 35.5-17 STU Sand Master paddles . $1250 each and approx another $800 shipping. $3300+ for 2 damn tires!!!!!!!  IF you can find them.   So,ya,3500ish seems to be the new number. :m

I split the discussion of paddle tires off into its' own topic. Trying to sort of keep this on topic.
