Has to be a Ford 9ΓÇ¥ and more or less factory spec so I could run a Currie or other New HD Ford nine inch aftermarket but canΓÇÖt run something like a spidertrax or fancy one like that.

I am not really sure the housing is any more bent than it was before. I just cleaned the Bronco this evening and plan on checking it over this week.

I do have a HD Currie under the red one...

I just posted some video from the race however it looks like we forgot to turn on the camera at the start line so only have the last 80 miles or so from Pit 4 which is where we replaced the passenger side radius arm bushing.

Also of note, this was a new camera mounting location and it didn't work out too well. The arm on the camera mount was too long and the mounting point on the aluminum roof flexed too much.

Video is horribly shaky and really tough to watch - so just warning ya!

Whoa, the crash video was intense!! Over-cooked the corner and his some nasty boulders, but managed to keep it rubber side down!!! Impressive!
