trailer mis-hap

[pdzz]

Well I was planning on going to the track Friday night. I've got some new toys on the T-type I wanted to try out before making the 4 hour trip to Lebonan Valley on the 26th. My youngest son was guiding me on to my trailer, then heard a scraping noise, with him waving frantically. I pulled my lower intercooler hose of my RJC megacooler, just installed this year, pushed the pipe into the water pump pulley! It didn't rub thru, but it's close. SO..... Do I blow into work tommorow, fix the plumbing, get some car ramps to raise the back of the truck, and go racing?? Or, go to work fix cars, and deprive myself one more week??? Phil.

I blew in!!:biggrin: I'm going racing!

hello people; Speaking of mishaps. I finally get my car back from Cottons and while getting it out of the shop area I backed into Jacks Ford pickup truck. And as Jack put it I "caved in a panel". He said it was all good but he probably wants to use me as target practice with a one of his toys. I was there a while and the humidity got to me or just old age.
Sorry Jack.

I wonder if Jack sees this stuff?

Do what we do take a floor jack and jack the hitch up to lower the rear of the trailer that and you can some 2x8 wood cut one edge at an angle and put it at the bottom of your ramps to raise the car a bit as you drive up

2x8's under the rear axle of the tow vehicle is much.....much safer.

Weve never had a problem i forgot to mention when you jack it up leave it connected to your tow vehicle place the jack under your hitch!!!! Tried the 2x8 under the tow vehicle but sometimes it has to come up a lil higher to clear low hanging exhausts etc..

 

[notacarlo]

use more 2x8's ?

Somehow this guy got his truck towed by the city , and said it NEVER got a scratch.

I have had tow trucks complain that my z28 or SY was too low. How did they get this truck up?

Spent the day getting my car back together. Never made it to the track. I'll be at the Valley the 26th. I'm going to try and bribe Bison to come help be do some tuning!!! Phil.:biggrin:

are you sure he was talking about the truck in the foreground and not the one in the background?

98% sure bison won't be there he is working that day. otto may be there and he is usually willing to help

he stopped the other day when i was on the way to the same track rental as mentioned above . had the hood up at the gas station he stopped to see if i needed help.


he was tuning a car a bunch on friday at lvd .it went 9.11??? @ 152?? only 4 passes on the car in 90 deg weather.
