So I'm out cruisin' the back road with a buddy of mine and SNAP! Right out of one of my favorite turns, too. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)
So I call McMark and ask if he can bring me a cable. He was busy, but said " Remember how Brad used the throttle cable routed through the passenger window when Demick broke his cable?" I remembered, and laughed. Now could my friend step up? He's an ex-racer with over 20 races at Laguna and 20 at Sears, so he knows throttle. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Only 1 mile from home when this happened. We made back at a reduced clip. Good stuff. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) Tomorrow I'll have a used one in my hand and should have a new one on Saturday afternoon.. If it didn't happen tonight, I'm sure it would have happened at Marina on the a/x course, leading to another spectacular spin-out. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) KT |

Went down to HPH today and picked up a new Terrycable.
The reason my first one broke was beacause I didn't set the under throttle pedal limit stop. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) All these full throttle stints have really be cable stretching sessions until it finally snapped. It's set perfectly now. Look out. KT |
