The $2000.00 repair bill on the tranny really hurt.I know I can get a fully stock rebuilt T56 for around $1,500 but this is a Viper T56 so....Ouch!

Not looking good and Sorry I'm no help. But I gather that next year it may have to turn into an LTx/LSx shootout but have each individual classes throughout the weekend.

You all are underestimating tge people who show up for the races at the track... the people who are not on the sites.... the people who come... race.... leave.

No way on combining the LTX SHOOTOUT with ANYTHING ELSE...

When I showed up last year, I saw a lot of the people who had pre-registered. Then other people just trickled in who I had never heard of. The day of the race there was a big group of Impala's and a bunch of other nice cars, from guys who don't even have internet, lol.

Still no tranny, Oh and I forgot, still need to order tires, I have Drag Radials for the street but I know those wont cut it on the track. Man loosing interest, also trying to help out fellow LTX'ers on tuning their cars, turning down a lot of them and I feel bad about that, Maybe if the trans comes is soon and I get it in, I'll get motivated again. Hell, I booked my room back in April...
