BASTARD! I borrowed this trailer from a friend and asked him the same question, he doesnt have a spare. On the positive side, the tires are brand new, so should be no issues.......knocking on wood

Ok after crunching the numbers and weighing my options I have decided I am still coming. Talked to newman he is gonna call around in the morning and locate me a new hose. Just gonna keep a close eye on my coolant level on the way down then swap out the hose before going to the track.

Do you have a part number for the hose you need? If you do PM it to me, and I'll try to help out as well. I might be able to get you one tomorrow.

Sorry man didn't mean any harm! Lol! Like James said that's a heck of a pull. What bolt pattern does the trailer have? Probably small GM.

Im not going to push it. I just got the battery moved to the back have to get is inspected tomorrow morning and then get the suspension done some time tomorrow. But I not going to run just dont want to take the chance right now but stroker if you wanting a race that bad Ill head up north and meet you at your local strip as soon as I get Lito to do the finely tune on her.

Now me and my girl will be driven up to Centerville Friday morning to drive meet up with everyone and drive in to the strip. I wont be racing but Ill hang out and talk shit with yall most of the night. Ill I'm still bring my gopro and my helmet just in cause anyone needs it.

Not looking for a race quite yet, just looking out for you. Come on and we will have fun anyhow.

Its the lower radiator hose and unless I can figure our a way to temp patch it up between now and friday morning the trip is over for me. Cant even get one in from ford until Saturday.

Well the epoxy idea was a bust cant keep it dry enough for the epoxy to set. So honest opinions it looks to be leaking at a manageable level I lost aprox a cup to cup and a half in 50 miles. I have 3 gallons of coolant in my trunk it is about a 350 mile trip for me one way. Should I give it a go and keep an eye on it or stay home and fix it next week?

Call Victor at Park Citys Ford Parts in Dallas and tell him Billy Reicher sent you. If it can be done he can get it done for you. Or send me the part # and I will call him in the am.

Ok good news this morning the car only lost about a quart of coolant overnight so I feel fairly confident driving down won't be a problem. Newman has located me a replacement and I will pick it up after I get down there and check into my hotel. Then gonna head to Newman's house and change it out before heading to the track.

Tomorrow is the big day. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone. For those that are stopping by the hotel before the track, I'll be there around 3-5pm (depending on traffic). Feel free to txt me at 972-872-0012 if you want to meet up for a bite to eat and head to the track. Safe travels tomorrow!

Mike
