Hi all!
I am sorry this has taken me so long to get around to, but I suffered a
neck injury last week pushing (of all things) an MGB belonging to my
boyfriend. It's not too bad, just a hard muscle sprain, but I woke up
Tuesday morning and couldn't get out of bed! Fortunately, the therapist
had shown me a way to roll out, back when I had my lower back injury, so
it didn't faze me for long. Couldn't drive for a couple of days, so I
was at home away from the computer (the one at home is temporarily
down), but now am almost fully recovered. Whew! Of all the stupid
things...
What I really want to say, is THANK YOU!!!! to everyone out there who
responded to my roller rocker question (probably almost everyone on the
list!)!!! What I got boils down to:
- Rollers are not legal in vintage.
- Rollers are good for helping with the last fraction of a second your
competitor is beating you by (and you are a proficient driver driving
90-100% already).
- Rollers are EXPENSIVE!
- Rollers won't break as easily as the stock ones, but that *could*
cause more major problems if something gets overstressed.
So, after all of the advice (especially the legality point! :), I
decided to stay with the stock ones. Incidentally, the competition
machine shops in town I talked to about working the head, all tried to
get me to buy rollers without even finding out what my driving situation
was.
Thanks to all of you who responded. I really appreciate the wisdom,
since I am still developing mine, and have a lo-o-o-o-ong way to go.
Keep Triumphing,
Susan :)
