After the water pump started leaking on saturday afternoon and then I spotted water in the oil sunday I thought I had some major trouble coming my way but the Deuce made it all the way home with no issues other than leaking about 1/4 gallon of water every 50miles.

1 ignition switch and needs a good harness side connector now after the 12+ pin rattled loose half way home . I did a full 2nd gear high boost pull on the on ramp after eating lunch and BOOM! Thought the engine grenaded.Thankfully I noticed the symptoms and traced back to the switch and put a new spade connector in the haness side to get home. 1 thermostat on the dragon friday. Other than that ok. Rich made it to scrub's house (Dan) in Delaware and is heading to the shop right now. Had a great time! G

Post how you made it home blown or running perfect..
Funny thing is: I've driven over 1500 miles on one rotor... I think a total of about 2500 give or take 500 miles.

Ducktapes Jeep was pissing coolant from around the water pump. Got a little warm at the top of the Skyway on the way back but was able to get us and the sandrail home in one piece.

Must have been from lack of oil. There's no way an FB could make enough torque to damage an axle

I'm not busting on that particular FB, I'm just teasing a few FB owners that I'm friends with Hence Duffmans comments

Specs on the FB? Engine bay pic?

1st off.....Sorry to hear about your motor Kevin...
2nd.. Thanks for the AWESOME deal on the GoPro HD camara.. It's great...well worth the money.
and last but not least... We made it back to South Florida with NO issues.... guess having the FD's on trailers was a great idea... We left Bryson at 9am and made it home at Midnight... As for the cars on the Dragon... they did great... NO issues and my temps never exceeded 90* C....
This was my 1st year at DGRR and I plan on making it back every year from now on....
Met alot of members so I was able to put faces to names... everyone was friendly and welcomed my wife and I with open arms...

Thanks again for a GREAT weekend...

Joe

Yea they got lucky and got his rear end troubles fixed by saturday night

My saturday wasn't much better
Power Windows wouldn't work
Fuel Pump lost power.
Fuses all blew from rigging up the PW
Shifter broke (luckily got it rewelded)
All gauges went out and the E-fan ( had to rewire them all )
Huge coolant overflow from just adding and not emptying the catch tank...
But sure enough made it home fine =]
