Helping out was no problem, I am sure you would have done the same for me.

My wife, Teresa (amateur photographer) took those pictures.

Below is one of your car. I was by the wall for this picture and even though the picture does not show it your drivers tire was off the ground!

John

I'm getting prices on 3 different ones! Probably just stick a oem back in it it was pretty tough it would still be going if it wouldn't have done a violent tire hoop!When it come off the ground at a 6500 burn out unlock and when back on the ground relocked at 6500 rpm with tires already smoking hot just couldn't handle that rough hit!Boy that was some serious pavement they got at MMP!Might have her going by sat might not going to see what the dealer will let a unit go for in the morning!I think some of the locking teeth probably already had some wear on them from my previous probably 200 track runs and 60k miles of driving!And several 1.58-1.69 60 fts pulling the wheels!

Thanks for shooting the video and with the suspension help.
