Oxford Pull 9/17/11

Oxford's stats were, 1st Jeff Pelletier 2nd Eric Flewelling 3rd Malcom Mcgraw 4th Ben Pourier 5th High Voltage.  The pull ran smoothly, the transitions from class to class were quick. The 1st 90 feet of the track could have been maintained a little better but the sandy track overall seemed better than expected.  The Diesel class had a top speed of 24 mph.  Congratulations to Jeff for the win.   
Once again team High Voltage finds the next weakest link in the drive train.  The drivers side front CV shaft sheared off in the hub.  In the rear drive shaft achieved two complete rotations before contracting enough to pull the slip yoke out of the forward drive shaft.  The result of the damage shouldn't haunt us with late nights like it did last week.  It will however lighten the wallet.  Looks like peanut butter and jelly this week.
