I'll line up with you again and we'll get that cluth broken ... I mean broken-in . j/k

Actually, I am glad to hear you got your ride back. I know that frustrating break-in period can be rough too. It seems every Mustang in the world wanted to race when I couldn't get into it right after I replaced the rear end. Then when I could play again I could not BUY a race.

I've got soo much action with my slipping clutch. Paced/raced like 5 people in one day with it slipping and the entire year I MAYBE raced 5 people because I drive like a bitch on the street! lol

That's OK, drag racing is all about cheating anyway.

Some people say the NHRA stock class is where the 'real racers are'. But if you read the rules, you'll see that they can modify those cars quite a bit. It's what those rules DON'T say that is important.

What we do, CCC or brakcet racing, is more about the driver. And how consistent you can get your car to run. Even tho the bragging right always go to the fastest cars, RC beat everyone last week in his 16 sec truck.

But a few of us have had this mini grudge race going on for 2 years now. Me, Bill & Jason have been so close to each other et wise that we can't wait to line up against each other. And now your car is right there with us....so buckle up buddy! And pay no attention to the bullseye on your back.

Hmm, now that the tranny is quiet, I hear the low freq. rumble in the rear. If it holds up at the track I'll get the Auburn Electric Locker and 4.10's done next two weeks or so. If not, then sooner.
