Working on the MR2 Turbo racer. A few weeks ago, we won the seven hour Saturday Enduro at Mosport. Sunday morning, running perfectly, 5th gear exploded, coming off the back straight! End cover lost a good size chunk, gear hub and a few teeth still attached, another chunk in the housing, and the third piece is somewhere in corner eight..... Latest RAV4 uses the same gear, so patched the case and installed a new gear. Replaced a broken throttle pedal, fresh pads, and a good cleaning. Alignment rack is next. We’re off to Calabogie for a double header, this weekend. Still leading the Championship, so hoping it all hangs together for two more days. This will be the 13th and 14th full day on this motor.
My buddy Brian can’t make it out from Calgary, so lots of seat time for three of us. Fingers crossed. More news, next week.
