[Spridgets] Race car go bang

I know you said the rod miraculously held the broken crank together, 
averting serious disaster.  Did the rod survive w/o damage?  If so, did it 
earn an early retirement for it's good deed and land a space on the wall of 
fame?

Did your acquisition come off yesterday?

Warning - the images below are graphic in nature -

During the BHF feature,
my oil pressure dropped 10 psi, power was severely diminished and there was 
a
"noise" on the first lap of the feature race. It got shut down just in 
time -
check out the damage. Look at the rest of the crankshaft and the bores - 
still
beautiful.  I'm hoping it just needs a crank and I'll be at Grattan. I'm 
going
to take Peter C.'s suggestion and make an EN40B table lamp. Rather than the
junkyard route, a full prep EN16T crank is on its way from Ro Dy / Moldex.
