Saturday wasn't as good as Friday  :'(
Started on the pole for the heat and got beat up pretty bad by the outside car, slammed into me at least 3 times in the first lap, which finally sent me down into the car passing on the lowside, then back to the guy on the highside....Legends Pinball! Ended up 5th, so I had to run the B main. Upon inspection, found 2 bent rims and a bent panhard bar and trailing arm, so the right rear is leading about 1/2 inch, but didnt have time to fix anything before the B. Somehow finished 3rd in the B to transfer to the A. Started 19th of 20 in the A, somehow made it up to 10th, and spun myself on lap 24. Back to the back of the pack again! Made it BACK up to 11th and had to be a show off cuz all the family and a couple sponsors were in the stands, so I took it 4 wide on the outside in turn 3 on the last lap and spun myself again...finished 16th. UGH! I really need to find the edge and just teeter on it!  Went outside Sunday morning and my driveway is covered in gear lube...hopefull its just the axle seal...anyone have a part # for the seal or is it a 600 specific unit? Is there an inner and an outer?

Sorry to hear that you had to put up with someone bouncing off of your car like that.  Dirt track racing is a contact sport, but there are limits.  If someone drives like that, it usually comes back around. 

Make sure to check that the rear end housing isn't bent.  Can you tell where it is leaking from?

Havent looked at it yet...car and trailer are locked in the garage until I get the 15 yards of mulch that were delivered this morning out of the way and where it is supposed to be. I just figured Id get the seals coming since it'll be the 2nd time apart in a month anyway. We're off this week, so I have lots of time!

Is it maybe leaking out of the gear carrier flange?

Simes Graphic designs in North Dakota

http://www.simesgraphicdesigns.com/

50 shirts, 6 hooded sweatshirts, and artwork came to just under $1000.00, it took him like 3 months though because it was early in the year and everyone was ordering. Re-did the art 4 times with some petty stuff without a complaint though

This comes from our friend Vaeron from Greece:

Up to now I have participated to three races (the Clubs championship), and I have won the two of them.
I haven't found yet the way of thinking for the setup of the car, because is something new for me (I am an old Kart driver).
These kind of races are only three lap time races. Everybody is very excited with the legend car, and most of them require for more information.
You will find enclosed a link of Youtube of one race ().

Regards,
Nontas

Chance,
 Getting the numbers and sponsor decals will sure dress up your car. Can't wait to see it in race trim.
