Rats and Drat!
I heard a loud snap from the front end as I was heading for my fifth pass at the drags today. Drove on to staging but the steering didn't feel quite right, so I eased the car back up onto the trailer and found a broken lower control arm bolt. My last run carried the left front wheel 60' and must have been too much stress for it. My trip to Tucson John's tomorrow will have to be canceled unless I can find a 9/16" or 5/8' x 8" , or what ever,bolt tomorrow morning. Doubt to have much luck on a Sunday morning but should find it Monday at Copper State Bolts. They've got about everything in the world of nuts and bolts. John, thanks for the invatation anyway.
