As for me - well all I can do thank those who helped me yesterday - it was a hard fought parts battle in trying to get me back racing but after breaking a transmission ( see pics below ) but in the end I just couldn't come up with enough pieces to put the Flash Camaro back together even after two trips back to Pennsylvania yesterday .I'm not throwing in the towel just yet but it doesn't look good .

Back a little later with this mornings action ..............

Oh the horror!. That trans looks VERY crunchy Hope you get it ironed out.
