  • Been driving these things for over 25 years and I have never seen this happen before. Stick around long enough and you’ll see other things you’ve never seen before. It’s a race car. It always seems to give you something new. #racing #nitro #car

      ​@@nitrochaney1026Being officially ancient, I came up in a time you did n't tell people you were a drag racer.
      Girlfriend's fathers didn't think much of you, neighbors hated you 'cause you had a shop at your house, police has your name on Speed Dial 'cause of test sessions on old country roads; the only people who were ever glad to see you were your machine shop & your speed shop & they took all your money.

    I can answer the question, when he looks in the mirror, he is looking to see if the wheels are spinning. I think its because if he push the clutch alle the way in, the wheels will spinn, he need to find the sweet spot where they dont spinn.

The sharp or burr side needs to be out. Looked to me like the rounded edge was out. This can cause the snap-ring to come loose. !!! Please double check !!! And stay safe have a great day. Andy
