Pretty much all loaded up...just need to grab a few tools from the garage and my ice for the intercooler 
Depending on how things go, I may try my first few license upgrade passes if there are two A/ET license holders there tonight...

0 for 3 last night
first pass...1.39 60', blew the tires HARD at 100' out....car went completely sideways at 75mph
2nd pass...1.36 60'... had a sync loss with my crank sensor at top of first gear (aborted)...tightened up the gap some more...
3rd pass...1.33 60'...idiots at the track wasn't paying attention and let a truck roll down next to me after I started building boost. Had to back off and restart...most likely overheated the converter/trans and blew through 2nd gear bad
fugger is making some serious power now...hit 33psi...Ended up going 9.80 only in the gas for 300ft

It was nice seeing the car go down the track again. The first pass scared the heck out of all of us. We heard tires screech, the turbo go into full boost quickly, and saw the bumper pointing at the wall. Thankfully Brian recovered.
I hope the trans issue is very minor and you are back on the road soon enough!

I thought about doing it, doesn't seem like all that bad of a job i like being on the starting line. But then realized it's an hour and half away. If it was right around the corner, i'd apply.
Side note mike you guys heading to crapitol tomorrow?

first run (definately drove out of the groove...probably why it spun)

third run (blew through the shift and hit the rev limiter...pretty cool fireballs
In the gas ~4seconds... and coasted to a 9.80

Pulled the glide out last night and taking to my trans guy today...
don't look too bad...normal amount of clutch in the pan. fluid was definately cooked. Front vent line that goes to a trans catch can was pinched, so the fluid actually found its way out the rear vent in the tail housing. Trans guy told me it had to be stupid hot for that to happen
didn't blow by the front seal at all
nonetheless...I'm adding a 2nd trans cooler. I currently have a Derale fan cooled cooler but will add a 2nd one that sits in my icewater tank
