  • Today we got up early and moved Goliath into the shop. The southern tire part here at the pilot was nice enough to allow us to use their shop. Space the guys here have been a great help not just a lending us the Shop space but assisting us with some tools that we did not have as well as assistance with a couple of items.
    We finally got the broken transverse being removed and the new one installed. We also removed the airbag and ended up reinstalling temporarily until the new ones get here on Monday.
    We went to diagnose the driveline problem and unfortunately, it was a big problem. Looks like we broke something within the power divider so we had to order a rebuilt member for it. Unfortunately, that will not arrive until Tuesday.

      It’s technically not the pilot. It’s the southern tire Mart. They’re just in the pilot parking lot. The crew there is really really nice and extremely helpful. I walked over to the speedway yesterday evening. Unfortunately, the races were canceled because of the weather.

    It does suck that you have to make the expensive repairs to the truck. A lot of the money made for the business in Laconia out the door but that is the price of being in business. I am not sure why I am running my mouth here. You surly know what it cost to run a business. I guess one of the lucky parts to this story is the shop that was close and allowing you to make the repairs. That is a blessing. Take care and hope next week will make it all right.

    Sorry to say racing for tonight has been canceled at Fonda Speedway due to the rain today, I hope the weather improves so you guys can do some riding this weekend.

      Oh, that sucks. We were looking forward to that. It has stopped raining now, but may come again this evening.

    I've been following along im a subscriber I live right in town and know the weather is shit. If you guys need to stock up on food or anything a ride to to the store is no problem. There is a Walmart not far away.
