my diff stinks like butt..... btw

Diff fluid stinks anyway... I'd check your oil, if it's gotten black already maybe go ahead and change it, but you really shouldn't need to change anything after the event. Probably not a bad idea though to have your brakes bled of any air that might still be lurking in there.

Check your power steering fluid too, make sure it's level is good.

lol ... there aren't many places harder on brakes than CMP (for cars that reach a terminal velocity anywhere north of 125 that is). My bimmer is only capable of about 110 tops out there, so I haven't had any problems (that weren't due to my own poor planning and attention.)

While you are replacing the pads, make sure to inspect your rotors as well.

I just mentioned this is another thread, but it really should be posted here.

Stacy won his class this weekend in the Time Trials on the VERY last lap. His main competition and his nemisis was faster every single lap until then. But he pulled a few clicks out of his @#$ and won.

Congrads to him.

Oh,

And Big Daddy was FTD3, second to an Ultima and A highly modified C4 Corvette (Wally's buttUgly for those who know him).

Thanks Mark... I think I over-did it though. I'm pretty sure I've completely ruined all my rear sub frame bushings, and I may have even somehow managed to tweak the rear diff mount mushing. Need to get it up on a lift to know for sure. Rear brake caliper might be toast as well.

Thankfully we don't have another event coming up until October at the earliest, so I've got some time to make some repairs and maybe some upgrades
