PROPS TO MARLIN and HAL DESCHAMP (ftoy #35)
« on: Jun 09, 2008, 11:52:55 AM »
TeamSlowspeed broke a front output on the first course this past weekend. not 5 minutes after rolling off the course marlin rolls up and in typical marlin fashion was tearing apart a tcase he was delivering to hal deschamp. a huge thanks goes out to hal also for letting us tearing into his new, unused tcase. thanks again to those guys for helping out along with buzz, shon, and jose from above all racing for helping us out. above all is the team we are battling with for the championship in the series. thanks again guys for the help and saving the weekend.

That's the Marlin spirit, it's no fun to beat someone through a dq or dnf.

Nice!  But you didn't tell the class what contributed to the failure.  2&1/2 seasons (I think) of competition crawling with front tires damn near full of water.  :suprised:

Yeah I gotta say THANKS to Marlin for not only the parts but the motivation to actually disassemble most of the interior of the rig just to get to the t-case and put it back together in about an hour and a half. We only missed one course. It had been a hard couple of days and I was not sure I wanted to do the work, Marlin sure is full of energy.

Next THANKS Goes to Hal Deschamp for not even hesitating to volunteer his new case parts.

Next a HUGE THANKS to Buzz and Shon @ Above All, for not only helping out but bringing over tools, lots of talented hands to help including Jose their crew chief  (he even stayed to help us finish after Bob called for them to go run the next course)

How about another THANKS to Chris for the hard work, pics, and having to put up with Dave and I.

Lastly a huge THANKS to everybody who helped that I am forgeting cause it is still a bit of a blurr

 :smack:  You're right, I forgot.... front digs with tires full of water. :yikes:  I'm actually kinda surprised it lasted as long as it did. 

I have a front output in a box somewhere from when I did my dual cases.  You guys can have it if you think you have a need to carry a spare.
