Made it to Louisville today about 1 PM. Last night we were 5 miles from the T&T Body Shop party when Ralph's car at a red light take off, suddenly went full throttle, he hit the key to stop it. The throttle was stuck open and the radiator hose was split. After a trip to the parts store we thought it was all fixed. He started up and at the next red light the same thing. At that time it was almost 10 PM, so a rollback was called and it went to the body shop for the night.
.This morning the inspection showed up a broken motor mount was the problem, so fixed that, new radiator hose again, fixed the throttle cable again and we were good to go.
In the morning we will leave the hotel at 6:30 AM...no sense in wasting time!! Looking for a great day and week end. The roll back driver was the son of the body shop owner, the use of the shop and the rollback was a big "no charge"......aren't hot rod people great?!!
