Finally UPS found there trailer and stuff started to roll in. Big Thanks to DSS. Should be bullet proof no matter how aggressive I get with Pumpkin on the launch.

Probably not in the Spring cause that's only a 3:70 gear set for cruising, but by the Fall I'll have another light weight Strange or Moser 3rd member with a stupid steep set of gears (5:50 to 5:80) and a spool for the Fall DA and then Pumpkin will fly.

Geeze... I've been thinking about an additional center section with 3.73 or 3.93 gear set... Be a buggar to drive but wow she would finally get off the line...

Be fun though..............I'm a little aprehensive about that high of a gear ratio, but my consultants tell me that I'll have so much momentum at the top of 4th gear that the time it will take to grab 5th won't be an issue. Probably go with Moser stuff.

Think this will be the Moser 3rd member order sheet for the Fall DA. St$ff will be happening real quick early. That's what I need to be on level playing ground with the auto crew.

Yes Sir, but heavy compared to the 12 bolt Hammerhead. Final numbers not in yet, but around 40lbs heavier.
