EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

Jason Goforth's CRX, the one that made Top 4 in Pinks All Out @ Rockingham, is at O'Reilly Motorsport Park in Indianapolis for the filming of King of the Street.

He's having transmission problems, looks like the gearbox is going to come apart.

Anyone with 92-93 cable LS, or IIRC hydro LS, transmission and or pieces that the gearbox can be rebuilt with needs to contact Wes Buckner (mechanic on site) at (828) 768-8054 ASAP.

THANK YOU!

very close to bone and close to dave zerolift... get on the horn with them nogs, probably your best bet. about an hour and 20 minute drive up 74

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

I got Bone's voicemail, and Dave is in Orlando airport going thru security.

Can you copy and paste my first message to Cincinnatistreetracing.com? My login is failling and I have to go to class. Thank you!

I'm In covington about 1 1/2 away I'll go talk to the local honda crew and see what I can find. I know where a good ls cable tranny sits in the upull up the street but I probably don't have time to get it off and get it to them.b

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

If he was in the area theres a junkyard full of tegs w/ $150 transmissions waiting to be plucked...

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

called Wes, looking like they might run today.......I gave away the Hydro LS stuff from Blundell's tranny.

If need, I can be a transporter, but I would be to ORP until about 11p-12a tonight, doubt if people would be allowed into the track to work on cars.

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

Well the one I knew about at the junkyard is gone now. :'( But I'm calling all the local honda kids to see what I can find.

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

In my area those things are gold.A good b series hydro tranny asks $300-500 easily.

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

i'll post up on a local forum, but indy is about a 3 1/2 hr drive for me.

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

Found a tranny! just waiting for wes to call me back and I'll take it up to them.

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

I got two of them in the garage that I could ship if nothing else works. I ship UPS, Fed-x, and Bax daliy. I am in MN but if I can help let me know.

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

this tranny was needed tonight if they run tomorrow, if the ran tonight, ---- out of luck!

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

Well I am no help at all. Isn't racing fun???

Randy
14 hours to Indy from my front door.

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

JD is on his way to them right now with two trannies. The one of my friends fown here told me the one I found had no reverse and the seller wasn't telling me :-X So I'm glad I found out before they put it in the car.
I'm driving up tomorrow morning to watch the proceedings!

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

We're building the trans on the table of the hotel suite. Hahaha the electric impact gun is loud. ---- yes!

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

pictures!

no camera? make one!

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

haha :6

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

7 hour drive, you're a ------- trooper... i'm about 1:30 away, straight shot from dayton.

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

The original plan was I immediately headed back to take a linear IC test at 8am, but goddamn I am tired and Kalam (remember the n00b who posted the two girls in the shower?) has fed me two beers.

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

Yeah probably best not to take that test with 14 hours of driving on your ass.

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

Pffft! I have that ---- on lockdown.

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

For the record IN is the armpit of the nation, all truck stops and Walmarts and bad pavement. I'm told ARRRRR-Kansas is worse - remind me to never go there either.

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

Arkansas is worse. Shithole of the nation.

Somehow this whole mess is Wes' fault. Tell him if Gobad loses, we're blaming him.

Good luck guys. See you next week.

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

Television is dramatic. I wonder how much of me raising hell at the Z car team will make airtime.

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

Wow, that was lots of fun. Lost by a half car, but it was a hell of a race.

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

Upload video please. ThnX.

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

Raising Hell more like JD ------- owned them!

The other honda that was with goforth ran pretty fast too. They lost becuase of a misshift on the first race and then they broke the tranny on the line on the next run. The other team were though and gave them until tomorrow to fix it. When I left at about 10:30pm they were already started on swapping in a spare. So hopefully they get some sleep tonight. Their down two but you never know.

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

They broke the midshaft, actually.

That car is nuts. Brandon ran 11.3 on qualifying pass, low boost, mild launch and shifting, and the car is geared so that it went through the traps before it topped out in third gear. :o

Do you know which people were associated with the Nova? Some of the guys there are ------- awesome people and shoot from the hip. Nothing against the Z-car guys when I say that... the Z-guys are about as good at sandbagging and ---- talking and negotiating as their car is fast - which is perfect for that show, probably exactly what the producers wanted, and they ran us pretty good. It was everything we had to get that last fair run against them, and I'd guess we saw 90 to 100% of what that car is. A half car at the traps is pretty close, and to do it again would turn out the other way around depending on how the cards fell. Respect where respect is due, though, the CRX is a 9 second car and .9 seconds lead to equalize vehicles means that 260 is running 8's. Freaking insane car.

They are talking about bringing the CRX back into action for another episode. I think a breather setup is what the car needs, badly badly badly. The turbo is junk, and the engine is on it's last leg after a couple years of serious beatdown and 350+ dragstrip passes, but the blowby is due to lack of breather.

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

Huh so it was just an axle on brandons car cool. I hope those guys got some rest last night then. When eveyone was looking the car over it was making a lot of noise in the gear box and the throwout bearing was making noise. They were still down two races starting this morning so I hope they pulled it out and won. But the nova crew were a good bunch of people and if they won they earned it.

I actually hungout with the nova crew about half the day after you had to leave. I'm terrible with names so I can't remember but that guys wife was probably the best negotiater of the entire day she had the Z crews number and they weren't getting by with any of their usaul antics.

When it came time for them to race brandon the Nova crew really showed good sportsmanship both sides were honest. When brandon broke they came right over and said do what you have to to get running we just want a race.

Oh ok Jasons car just didn't have a any kind of crankcase ventilation the way that thing was smoking at the end of the first run I was sure it had a cracked ring or something. Then when he went down the track two more times It was obviously not anything major but I couldn't figure out why. I'm sure the vacuum lkine blowing of the fpr didn't help either.

the J.davis tuned sticker gives it -33whp

edit: fixed it for you, I almost couldn't make out the -

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

That CRX is ------- sweet. It would be pretty exciting to be involved with that.
If you happen to come across a youtube/streetfire vid of the race, you should share :)

PS,
Im really enjoying the lack of FullRace and Precision stickers.
HMT sponsors and PGMFI nogs for the mutha ------' win.

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

You don't like high-end rides, Dave? I won't post pictures of the BRMS car then, although you can make a tiny bit of the hood out sitting behind the CRX.

Re: EMERGENCY: Anyone in indianapolis, IN?
 

Video nogs! and more pictures. Looks incredible.
