you might as well get used to it if your gonna run a buggy in wellsville. i always say, a good day riding is when you can drive your buggy back on the trailer.  dave |

I'll go one step further than that. A good day of riding at Wellsville is when you make it back to the trailer. |

Hey Rock..I'm not trying to rag on afterburnt, he is a freind of mine but I have seen his buggy towed or limped back to camp more times then I can remember. You don't get that well engineered of a buggy with out alot of breakdowns. Blow trannys, blown wheel bearings, broken axles, broken steering boxes, broken stub axles, rear tires that were split in half, bent wheels, broken rotors, bent spindles, bent tie rods, seized motor bearings, bad ignitions, blown oil lines, bad starters "where's Steve with that rock?!?!?!", garage it was in burned down, his pick up hydroplaned and smacked the buggy and t- trailer into the guard rail,....................all that is just in the few years I have known him. I think there is a curse on that thing.

you forgot to mention the time that it ran perfect at home, and when i drove it off the trailer, and when the wheels hit the wellsville dirt, it quit and i couldnt get it to run for the whole weekend. turned out to be a bad coil and all that weekend, everytime i turned around, somebody was putting a for sale sign on the buggy i have been riding out there for about 10 years and just in the last year or so, it started running real good, thats because i reengineered everything to hold up for wellsville and besides how could you have a place like wellsville and an awesome buggy and not be hard on it? i just cant do it dave |

Of course he has alot of stories, we all do. If none of us ever broke anything what would we talk about all winter. Ya know Afterburnt should right a book on what to do and what not to do to a buggy. Every time I come up with a idea I tell him and he says, oh don't do that, I tried that, it didn't work out well. Also just to be perfectly clear, I'm not making fun of Afterburnt, I have been towed back to camp more than him in the past few years. Blow cv's, blown oil lines, and bad clutch's and so on. There was also alot of times I limped it back to camp. Like last fall when I blew spark plug out of my cylinder head. For a second I though someone was shooting at me. It must have been from the super high compression of the stock 1600 with bad rings.
