    I can't be under 10.00? I'm tickled for you that you did 9.92! Wish there were time slips like now a days back when I did some 1/4 time...

    Can you explain to us non-blower types, what happened and what is wrong with it?

    Also, what caused the problem, is is the cause of the problem?

    Thanks, kept watching the stream to see you run, but I think I was too late.

    I'm not sure what caused it but I have some ideas. The front bearing might have been put in wrong by me. Also I might have had the belt a little tight. The rotor hit the rear cover.
