[Spridgets] Diffs again, if I may

[Rick Fisk]

John has the competition version of the Phantom Grip installed in his Midget 
race car.  When he broke the left axle at Gingerman raceway last May he had 
to be towed back to the paddock.  The car would not move under it's own 
power.

We got the broken axle out and a replacement installed in about twenty 
minutes.  John took off for the false grid for his next heat and realized at 
the last minute that we had forgotten to reinstall one "kind of important" 
piece when we put it back together.  We had everything in there except the 
brake drum.  LOL
