Finally Got Her to the Track Again....
Congrats at getting to the track. It takes a while to get use to the power of turbos. You get there. Take your time. Get the new rear-end under there - and some decent size tires. There is NO SHAME in lifting - believe me, better than kiss a wall.

Congrads on the time and the mph for the first time at the track. Just wondering, what kind of brake setup do you have on your car? Again, congrads on the times/mph and getting it to the track.

That's funny right there...Gotta start somewhere little bro. Not bad at all considering you haven't driven a race car in over a year.
Keep it up, the times will come down considerably. What's up Kyle? I wanted to make it to the track Friday; there was nothing but flight cancellations and delays on the board for me though from first thing that AM. 
That car is a beast; baby steps man
