Default Who's going to PRP today?

I went to the garage this morning and found a shiny black SS. My wife washed and waxed the car this morning before I got up What an I'm going to heat cycle the new gears a few more times and I'll be off to the track. I hope the new gears pick me up abit.

Anyone else going?

I'm going to Pit over by the ticket booth. Come on over and say HI.

If I didn't have bad luck I'd have no luck at all. Went to the garage to heat cycle the gears and the tranny was locked in neutral.

I disconnected the linkage and it's not the tranny thank goodness. I took the shifter apart disconnected the cable. It's not the shifter thank goodness. It's the dang cable.

I just called Summit and they have the cable in stock.

I'm off to Summit but I don't know if I'll make it to the track today. I'm gonna try.

It just aint my day. Made it to Summit in record breaking time. I was 5 minutes into the drive home and my altenater went kaput. I limped along and made it to withing 20 miles of home and the car died. Called my buddy Burt and he towed the car to his shop.

Not going to make it now.

With the day you're having it might be better that you're not racing. Who knows what might be next.
