I Can NOT Make It To Big Bear!!! ARGGGGGG!!!!

[Boston Mangler]

Well now, it looks like i wont be able to make it!

Just got back from the Baja 500 and have some somewhat serious damage to the rig.

Too tired now to get into it but i will post details and pics tomorrow. I just wanted to give yall a heads up that i wont be making it.

Long story short, we sheared 4 of the 6 lugs off of the front drivers wheel, had no spare studs, found some guys to weld some beads onto the hub so the wheel would "Fall Completely Off" and then limped it 200 miles home @ 35mph!

More details and pics to come but this will be a very involved fix and it wont be ready by the 16th!

Anyone got a spare 80 alloy and/or hub (thing rotor attachs to)?

Thanks, details soon!

HA i will post more when i get home from work

Unfortunately, this fix will be an expensive one, so i can only afford 1 or 2 wheels at this time

thanks

First, sorry to hear about the carnage Kevin. I'll have a passenger seat available if you still want to come and willing to pick up/drop off (see point 2 below).

Second - damn you. I really wanted to check out your African Outback roof rack. When I get one, it's either that or Alvaro's Inti Rack. I've seen his and wanted to check out your's from Christo.
