Well happy Sunday to me.
Jacked it up and if I spin one wheel hard, the other might move a couple
inches.
I'm sure I've seen it on her the past few years but never paid attention to
it, does anyone have a good how-to written up beyond what's in the book?
Thanks
Chris

Chris,
Sounds like a broken axle. If you're lucky it's the hub end. And they do
let
go with no warning or odd noises. John Deikis has broken enough axles on
his
Works Race Midget that we have the replacement procedure down to about 20
minutes. :-)
