Hugger and I are both up for that 13 second class. I didn't run the truck and I knew I wouldn't be able to after the motor had to be replaced. Not making excuses but if i'm picked I'll be rocking whatever shirt comes my way. lol

Viking I think makes some nice ones, been a while since I looked.
I just got a quote from MWC to do Viking DA coilovers on all 4 corners and also dial in my suspension since i live 2 hours from their facility. It's been touch and go getting good traction at the track and my cheap AGX KYB's are probably to blame. Sometimes I'd deadhook and then spin after 100ft. I'm guessing it's the suspension being unsettled is to blame and getting some proper shocks will help.

Some people, like myself, had a lot of set backs this year. I had to dump almost a grand into my car over the year because of problems arising, that shouldn't have. That can't be controlled. I would have liked to run, but there was no way I could. Every time I was set to go to the track, something broke, it rained out, or I was working. I accept my loss. Ill wear my shirt, no problem. I know Islander wants me to!
