    I don't think Chad is on here any more.
    The last engine he had in his rig was a 850ci sonny's engine.
    (based on what he told me in October 2014, at which time he was having a break from racing)
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    So work on the stage 1 was put on hold for a few weeks after a high lift jack decided to free fall whilst I was building a tray for my triton and cause it to full off the stands. It crush and tore part of my right index finger off. Lucky I'm left handed ��
    This happened on December 18th. She has healed well and yesterday I managed to get the off the chassis.

    pic removed

    In a these pics the paramedics had actually pushed the tip back onto the exposed bone... yum

    pic removed

    Finally making progress

    Well that's a bit untidy!!! Still a cut and polish will tidy it up...


    That finger, on the other hand (you did say you were left handed) is a bit ugly!

    Hope you get back on track full speed soon! Well done to continue!!

    I assume now no push buttons to the right of the steering wheel??

    I meant 'kept' as in not amputated. Sorry you lost it.

    Although keeping it in a jar would be a cool party trick, or something to show the grandkids one day.

    Do you have any phantom limb issues? Like wanting to pick you nose and realising that the pickin' end is not where it used to be? I've heard it can take a while to adapt to.
