Yes, I have a sponsor actually paying my entry fee into Redline Time Attack, $7k
I am selling spots on the car for advertisements, goal is to make $7.5k and flex that money to pay for a truck and trailer for the year, and then next year repeat the process.

It's not a pickup truck but my company is selling an 04? Tahoe LS with ~130k miles for $6500. Has quite a bit of room in the back since it only has one back seat that can also be removed.

Got to pull an sr20 out of my roomies 240 this morning. Went surprisingly smooth. Pulled the motor and trans all at once lol. Sad thing is that he's going back to the ka24 damn sr reliability issues. He wants to put an ls in it sometime in the next year or so but we will see if that actually happens or not. Regardless though, it was nice to get some wrench time in. I was going through mechanical withdrawals lol

When I didn't hit traffic I was running a consistent 2:15's (Instructors run 2:08's in similar cars) So I just have some mental stuff to keep up with. I should have some videos and pictures next week.

I'm happy that things are working out for you. You deserve it, man.
