I'm not a big fan of spectators...it just increases your chances of getting in trouble. I usually just set something up with someone I know and go have fun on a back road somewhere.

Hell yeah... that would be fun. We don't have to go more than like a mile to get it done too.
Actually, I have quite a few friendly runs lined up with people in Mackinaw. The GTO is supposed to run another GTO and an SRT8 300C. A guy I know has a Supra that he wants to run against the camaro off the spray. I just need to work on getting things buttoned up on the camaro over the winter and getting a 12 bolt or 9 inch under it.
Are you gonna do the tranny rebuild yourself?

Yeah, I'm rebuilding the trans myself. I just swapped a 4L80E into my buddy's truck (the Silverado with the 22s that was parked in my yard for about 2 months). He came over to show me his "built" 4L60E and we broke something right away. It's definitely a hard part, and I think it's the input shaft, though I haven't tore into it yet.
So anyways, I'm going to start with that core, since it's got the 5 pinion planetaries, billet servo, shift kit, converter.
Let me know if you want a hand turning wrenches on the Camaro. I'm aways up for that.
Ok, so let's see:
CWW17 vs. Compressor Surge
Bird vs. Dmax (from a dig)
Bird vs. GN
HD88 vs. Surge
Dmax vs. Goat
Camaro on motor vs. GN
Goat vs. C-10
ICRAZY6 vs. HD88
bird vs. camaro (motor, juice, or both)
any others?

If you guys are ever hanging around the garage doing stuff, let me know (you got my number). I doubt I could be of much help, but I'm pretty good at sitting on my ***...drinking beer...and bullshitting about cars.
Hell, if the weather clears up some night... I'm sure we could probably get the GTO and the Dmax race out of the way. I don't think the roads will make too much of a difference on the GTO's traction and I have a feeling the Dmax won't have any traction issues.

2fast - I'm still trying to figure all this computer stuff out but other than that the t/a's running really good. I can't wait to give it a shot of some gas and take it up to the track.
