Getting my prettiest race sled down from 3rd level of pallet racking, about 10ft., grabbed it with forklift, razed it up, Alls good so back away and touch lever to start lower and she does a slow mo flip off the forks and lands on hood, upside down. Pretty Red chunks of glass flying all over the place. Probably alittle lighter now but man, my sleds need to look good out on the ice too. Bill!!!!! How backed up are you?

So far, hood spidered bad enough that I won't have time to start reglassing before 1st race, same with belly glass. Spark plugs broke and few head cooling fans bent. Original F/A alum. Ski tip bent straight up at a 90. That's about it so far. Hoping bulkhead is still some what straight. Will see when new glass comes. Haven't checked clutch alignment yet.
