Default Quick little video of our weekend adventure..

http://www.vobra.org/vids/mattnew.wmv

Matt didn't get to do anything we really wanted him to, but at least he made it to the track. Every 60ft was 1.8-2.0 spraying out past the 60' as you can tell...

lol begin the **** talk...

SAR!?!?!? Our trailer hates I-10 past Sealy LOL!!! I'm afraid next time Texas Chainsaw Massacre may come for us!!

I'm sure one weekend we will bring it out. Probably won't make any big track things until it cools down again sadly We will see. May bring it up and roam the streets a little in the ATX though

What rear did you end up with after the other broke? Better DTE stuff?

Same stuff as before. It was the wheel hop sadly that killed it. Another G-Force Output shaft (tranny side), LPE Long shaft, DTE Short shaft, DTE Clutch packs. We did add a DTE brace though. I wanted Matt to do a 3.73 or something because it would have only been a little bit more since there is a place that can setup Vette rearends, but he didn't want to for some reason. It would help a lot though. Next up are shocks then we should hopefully be set. The rearend is another reason why he didn't want to launch it hard today lol

Btw Mike, Mark, Nick, DJ, etc.. etc.. It was good seeing you all again. Didn't mean to bail out so quick, but we loaded the car and hauled *** to get Chris home for his dad's b-day.

Mark was that your brother with you? I can't remember if it was or not it's been YEARS since the black Cobra / SS days and leaving him with our tops down sadly to get passed by Kean's 9 second Supra LOL!
