I jacked up the rear of my Beck Suby to recheck for wobble and it's ok. But I was checking for other anomalies. My left rear wheel spun fine in gear, but the right rear barely wanted to move. When I blocked the left wheel,, the right spun while in gear., but only in spastic movements while making strange noises. H -E-L-P.
IS THIS 'NORMAL'?

With both rear wheels off the ground and in gear, when you turn one, the other should turn backwards. Hard to determine what "spastic" movement is but maybe hanging brakes?
As I mentioned the phone, we'll be in the area over the weekend and plan to try and get with you on Friday later in the day. We're off the track Friday at 1p and not back on until Sat Am.
OK, thanks Cary. I've got in my garage now up on jacks.. I will check on a hanging brake this afternoon. I just "adjusted the brakes again yesterday; maybe I adjusted them too much...
I realize how busy you guys are; let me know if you need to change our meet time.I'm having Cortisone injected in my knees at noon on Friday but I will be back in time to see you. Weather Guy says rain on Saturday so I hope you don't have to run in the rain. I drove the Beck yesterday and everything was ok until the VDO indicated 250 and it was like driving a bucking bronco, so I stopped for 15 minutes and it was ok...because I took it carefully. Also, I can hear a definite "rubbing" noise now from the rear(I think). I may buy a new set of rotors and brakes. See you on Friday. Meade
