Yeah, my cars very weak - so let's race
I was not on ET's, I was on DR's radials, and I didnt even launch my car hard Plus I had a hurt motor, and was barely making good power.
Im looking foward to the rematch
Some things are comming up and its looking more and more as we might not make it for the 21st anyhow.

Booooo. Priorities. It's all about the priorities. And as far as I'm concerned, the priority is getting your @ss to MD next week for the track day

J/K. Hope you make it down for the day/night... Worst case, it'll have to wait for another day.

It would be great to see all the big time Z tuners and drivers all competing at one event.

Axle is fixed just picked it up. The c-clip had stretched and the joint slid off the shaft. Swapping slicks this afternoon, and will hopefully go out for a test drive tonight...I hope the wobble is gone-but problems are usually never this easy.

edit-I'll also be swapping the axles in tomorrow on my lunch break

Slicks have been swapped, back to another set of 26 X 11.5", I actually gave away the set I had always run on. I'll be mounting them up tonight, and going for a test spin Id rather deal with 5th gear than a wobble down the track anyday!

Small chance of rain tomorrow night, but Im not counting on it, after tonight I'll have a much better idea of whats going on, if it goes well I'll be running tomorrow night, we'll be in the low 70's/60's,which is GREAT weather...

They are used, a little less than the ones I gave you. The ones you have always treated me GOOD-you can barely heat them up and your hooking up! Thanks for the offer Charles but these look good...

Well good news and bad news, unbelievable the things Im running into 1 week before the track day.

19's up front 11.5" in rear car handled WAY better, after som eEDFC fine tuning I was able to stay WOT 1-3, didnt want to push more on the street.

As Im pulling out of my garage I see smoking coming from drivers side out from under the hood. Oil is getting from somewhere onto my exhaust manifold, the whole drivers undercarriage is saturated in oil(sway bar, suspension, oil pan I had checked it last Fri before the track and noticed yesterday the dip stick wasnt all the way down-Im a tard, I hope it spewed from there. After reinserting it though it leaked a good amount idleing for a few minutes, so I have to clean the whole area, and trace it to the source. This has me worried, almost looks like a bad VC leak. Hope are high for the track day though....no track tonight for me.

Berto...that sucks!!! I had the exact same thing happen to me last week, scared the crap out of me. Cleaned the area pushed the stick in all the way and problem solved. Hopefully this was your only problem.
Cheers.
