Ya i've seen him around in different threads over the years. This it's just terrible. I drive on roads like that every day and I'm always nervous to pass people cuz it's so easy for something like this to happen even when you're being careful. My thoughts are with him and his family.

How late will you guys be out there at TMS? I live like 5 miles from there, but have to work the morning shift tomorrow. If y'all will be there late enough I'll swing by.

On a serious note, I think we need to do a small "West Side" meet. There are a handful of us that live in west/southwest DFW and should get together.

I know of Skrilla, R1forever, myself and a couple of others.

^^^^lets do this

Dang Adam, why wait so long...it is better to register and get a refund or credit than to miss the event.

I think you can get in if you show up.

To get to TMS just drive north on 35 to 114. Exit and turn left under the bridge and you're there.

I really hope it falls on a day that I'm off work, but I highly doubt it.

Yeah those would either fall on my days off or I would show up for just a little bit since they are so close to my house. But I can't really make any other meets during work weeks. Getting up at 2:00am and home at 4:00pm doesn't leave me much time for meets. Then if it's not that shift I'm working all night.

But I'm gonna check with you guys later today to see if you're still at TMS. Actually... are you not there now?

I don't have that much power, but the previous owner intended on building it for that and put in a SPEC Super clutch and lightweight flywheel. I called SPEC to ask about details and the guy told me "crap man you've got the highest rated clutch for that platform... that thing will handle 1350hp and 750lb/tq" or somewhere in those number ranges. Way overkill for stock power, but I mention it to give you an idea of who to look at.

It is streetable as I've had it in for 5 years, but it's not the most street friendly. It's kind of a ****-or-get-off-the-pot clutch. Not much for feathering, just wants to grab and go.

Thanks for the info. I'm about to drop in a built engine and might as well do a 6spd swap. I've swapped customers clutchs And flywheels but never checked into it

You're welcome to drive my car when we finally get to meet up. I've driven a stock clutch Z and compared to mine it's a totally different car. I can't speak on others like ACT or anything, but this one is a beast.

Thanks guys.....it was a very fun course. You both would have loved it.

It would have been good to have seen you too Eric...sorry about telling you we were about over but I didn't want you to drive all the way up to TMS just to see us loading up and leaving.

Jake, sorry I missed your get together last night....I had plans already set in place... maybe next time if I have some notice I will make it.
