First thanks to all the volunteers and Save The Salt for giving me a chance to run.
First run Monday it started to lose RPM at the 4 mile. Shut it down, turned out at 5.5, heard bad noises, coasted to a stop on the return road, everything looks, good car would not roll. Pulled spur gear out of the quick change and the car would move and load. I ran my best MPH in the second mile at 203.8. Pulled out the Muncie and pulled it apart and found the First gear cluster welded to the main shaft. Borrowed a Makita 4" grinder and ground all the teeth off of first gear. The push truck took the place of first gear and ran the Muncie as a 3 speed to a best ever of 206.8. The next day I ran 202 into an 8 mph headwind and it looks like I have a lifter or cam lobe going away so we called it a week. Thanks Dad, Cliff, Fred, Eric, and Bob and Jeff from South Dakota. See you all in October. Vince
