New axle parts

Who would think you could still get new parts for a car that was made in 1971.  The 1972 Lola T-300 change axle design, so these parts weren't used.

Output flange and more

Jeff had a few more parts that I could use.  Another flange that also had bent.  3 more bolts, the threads had been damage at the ends.   Parts should be here today.

Hard to see, but the top flange is bent.  You can see some of the Nickle plating has peeled off. A good indication there is a problem.

Throughout the day a good crowd was on hand.

Really nice boat, but only did a couple of laps.
Had engine problems.

The fastest boats ran on alcohol and had superchargers.

Talked to this boat owner/driver.  He's had this boat for 10 years.  The trailer holds 40 gals of water and 50 gals of fuels plus many spares.  The boat weights 1500 lbs and the trailer is 6000 lbs.

Excellent day for this event.

2016 Wheeling Vintage Raceboat Regatta

Visiting the Wheeling Vintage Race Boat Regatta in West Virgina. Friday is loading in and Saturday and Sunday are the time trials.  Today you get to walk around the hot pits.  Saturday and Sunday it's limited to just lunch time.  The boat trailers are very innovated.  No enclosed trailers here.  They have to be creative in making storage.
