As clunk said...

I didn't think the running in reverse thing was possible... Damn that's rotten luck, if there is one consolation you're still breathing!

What engine and what ratio was the transfer case in?

Like Nisshead I am curious about how there was enough traction to put sufficient torque back through a fully locked drive train to Diesel a Petty with brakes hard on?

Only want to know so it doesn't happen to me somewhere some day...

First gear low range. With 33s. The angle of the hill was close to 40 degrees so heaps of weight on the back wheels and front lokka engaged.

Also it's a carby model so maybe when it flooded it put enough fuel in to ignite it backwards.

Sorry tb42. Standard gearing.

OK, now that's scarey.

When it was rolling back I was thinking I might end up going over backwards
