Rick:
I was the guy who Fred was going to give his clutch cable to get mine back on the road. What a man. It happened just as we were leaving Jegs (our last stop on the poker run). As fate would have it, they would end up having the very part I needed to get it back on the road. The story goes like this (Sorry not as good as Hal's so just bear with me). We were getting ready to get onto 71 to head back to the Hotels and get ready for later. I came out of the gate still in 1st got to about 45 shift but no second gear. The clutch would not engage. A few things could be wrong 1 cheap and somewhat easy the rest very expensive and not very easy.It ended up being the cheap and not so easy. But I would not know the problem until I could get under the car & take a look with the chance of being run over back at DV's shop. Unknown by me, Fred was trying to win the unofficial burnout contest back at the Hotels.
He ended up leaving more clutch smoke than tire smoke as I've been told... not good. So Sid thought we would take a chance and see if it would work by taking Fed's cable out and putting it in mine. Mine ended up being a different setup than Fred's (later model) and I was not going to butcher up a good cable on the chance it might work.
to get mine running when I knew Fred would need it eventually. Needless to say didn't get much sleep Friday night trying to come up with options and the last one being make a call to Bro-in-law to bring the trailer. Granted it was not a far trip for me but I wanted to come to OH
He probably didn't but he would if I asked him to. So after several phone calls and help from some friends and Chris to provide transportation to get the part. The car was up and running at 12:30 and got to London about 1:15 after a brief stop at the Hotels to drop off Chris's car and get back to London. Life was getting better. It's all about family what you guys did and were willing to do for me I am very humbled. Thank you. I don't know a more sincere way to say thank you. Fred you deserved that tool box man.
