Sorry to hear this.

I think this is the maker's website:

I have the same FSB, also I remember when we installed mind the end link can be installed in the inside or outside of the arms and makes a difference on the reach. Maybe you need a diffrent size links and Oleg has a whole bunch of them.

Thanks guys! I'm really exited. I had the best time of my life there

I have learned a lot, and met a lot of cool people.
I have whole bunch of pictures and videos that I need sort through. I will post them later. Right now we are still cleaning stuff up after the race.

Since Pete's probably too modest, I shall give you his good news. He got a JOB OFFER from BSR to be a red shirt instructor and teach government guys how to drive. That and occasionally educate us lowly hobbyists/racers.

Congratulations Pete. Now you might break even on brakes and tires!

I did the BSR Red Shirt instructor thing a few years ago and it just wasn't for me. You guys know how much I love being on the track but trying to teach a 60 year old woman from the State Department how to do a high speed j-turn was enough for me to give it up. The pay is only about 1/6 of what I get in the cockpit so it didn't make sense as a part time job that I didn't enjoy.

To put it in perspective I really enjoy instructing HPDE events.

BSR is always looking for part time Red Shirts--they recently asked me to come back part time--so any of you NASA instructors could probably do it simply by asking BSR.
