Well, for those that were at Bodatios and saw the 2 Fords that lost a wheel in the bog, it felt like I was there again, but this time it was me!!

Ran my "A" class (33") and did 90ft (placed 7th), ran my "B" class (36") with a 12 second full pull, ran my "C" class (40") and that's when it happened. I broke the driver side knuckle clean off at about 40' into the hole! I haven't even wanted to look at it to see how bad it is. I'm hoping it is just the knuckle and I'll replace that and the axle shaft (again!!) and be on my way. I'll get some pics of it in the current condition and post them up as soon as I can.

Next event for me is June 16th, so make plans to come out and have a great time!!

Got a chance to check the damage last night. Looks like I just popped the ball joints and, again, broke the axle shafts. I'll get the doner axle today and get the shafts out of it. This weekened I'll do all the repairs, nothing too major.
