At some point during the 150 mile tow home Sunday night, my rear mast support disappeared, leaving the mast of my SC19 to beat the piss out of the rear lip of the traveler track with every bump in the road. I'm told that the look on my face was priceless at the moment of realization. The middle 16" or so will not allow the car to pass. the mast (rides with the luff groove down) somehow looked undamaged at first casual inspection.

<br>Before I spend several hours with a ball-peen trying to forge this thing back into shape, I wonder if anyone out there has had a similar experience and can tell me if I might just as well bite the bullet and replace the track.
<br>
<br>What are my chances of getting this thing back into good enough shape to let the car slide while under load?
<br>
<br>What (roughly) does a new 8' track cost, and how much of a nutbuster is the removal/replacement process?
