I sure hope someone gets there car back together or at least to the track soon! I need new race and street tires on the car and my daughters Yukon also needs new tires!!!! I’ve been driving with my front tires showing threads on the outside because it also needs an alignment. . I just don’t have the time to get anything done anymore I have the money for most just don’t have the time. I guess I will soon need to make some time because I need a break.

I FIXED MY TRANSMISSION FINALLY! The pumps back cover was setup for a varible orfice stator and that fk my whole game up. Put a new pump (again) in it an bam worked like a champ!

Then I drove it around my shop and my tires rubbed everywhere. Trimmed some stuff but it still rubs.. grrr I'm gonna port-a-power that beast soon. Then my new driveshaft fell out.... so fk me I hope I can afford to lengthen it (again) this week

I've been trying to get back out to the track. It's either work 6-7 days a week or it pours 3 hours before the track opens. I can't catch a break here

I'm also turning into a ricer again....j/k
