Technical Hamber down in Louisville at the nats!! Need help!!

any update?

 

T-boned, and the only visible damage is a broken axle? I don't see any other damage anywhere. The only way I can see that happening is if they took a hit directly to the front tire. Yet there's not even a dent in the hubcap, nor a scuff mark on the tire.

 

Been 19hours with no updates? I’ll assume they are elbow deep in fixing it and it’s been sorted?

 

NSRA wouldn't care about a roll back dropping a car at the hot repair area. It's been done before

 

Ebbspeed- don't shoot the messenger, I'm just reporting what was on IG.

 

Any word?

 

Just now saw this thread. No update? I'll PM the op.

 

I’ve been trying to get CT on this thread to give an update. I’m sorry it hasn’t happened. I can only guess he’s busy. I hope we get an update soon. Thanks to everyone for their ideas and kind words.

 

Apparently he's been having trouble finding a dropped axle drilled for chevy spindles that's the correct width.

 

He's (Ct) got a axle coming this morning! Hopefully he'll be on the road later today.

 

Thanks Leadsled52

 

Good deal!

 

Thanks for the update Leadsled52. That’s a cool looking car in your avitar...

 

I just had to use the repair shop at NSRA, talk about a class act. I had to completely replace steering shafts and steering knuckles. They work off donations and even had a spot cooler blowing while they did the work. It's a simple process, you sign a release and they get to work helping you get back on the road.

Also, I am back up and running, and willing to help with this crisis if I can be of any assistance.

Glad to hear the correct axle has been found. Yes the hot repair shop is a class act. I used them once in the late 90's. I had my coupe bright in on a roll back on Wednesday evening, I had broken a timing chain. We spent more time trying to gather up parts than actually doing the repair, but I drove the car off the fairgrounds Thursday evening. They are a lifesaver for sure.

 

Looks like a chrome axle that broke at the weld. I would suspect the axle was chrome plated and not further treated to prevent Hydrogen Embrittlement. If the axle was one that was made off shore, I would bet nothing was done except chrome.

 

That's what I was thinking. I also heard about this on a FB A site. Gary
