Good Idea!!!

I'm gonna try my best for 11s before I put a NOS 5115 kit on... [Big Grin]

Well, I was planning on making it out, seeing as the 8th is my b-day. But tonight I pulled my diff cover off and noticed metal in the diff fluid. [Frown]

Upon further inspectiion I discovered a busted spider gear. So, looks like the GT will be needing a new rearend before it sees the track again.

All the same, I'll be there with or without the car. [patriot]

BTW, if by some chance I can pull this off and get the car fixed, be looking for it on slicks and skinnies [Eek!]

Sweet...how much are you hoping to drop with the slicks and skinnies, 3 or 4 tenths?

Haven't really given it a lot of thought. But I would expect it to be faster than my DR times..lol

I'll be there, under two conditions...my parts come in and the weather cooperates! [Frown]

Did you curse my car last time you where at the track? I think you gave it negative vibes after your rearend broke [Wink]

Posted by Jeff S (Member # 371) on :

I will be there in the Cobra. [burnout]

Posted by JohnB (Member # 969) on :

LOL! No, no, no...the rear didn't break until AFTER the axle broke! Once what was left of the axle acted like a pinball in there...it tore up the diff really good! [Big Grin]

I'm blaming it on the track. If it wasn't hooking, I wouldn't have broke a rear end and gave your car some bad mo-jo! [Razz]

What is funny about mine, is that I really don't have any idea how long it has been broken.

Heh, I was half temped to just put it back together [Razz]

Posted by RO2USH (Member # 2002) on :

I'll be there...haven't had time to change anything yet, so....not sure what the point will be.

My rear broke, Eric's Mach1 broke an axle and Rhett split his tranny case all in the right lane. When it hooks it really hooks [Big Grin]

If I get my car fixed on Friday I should be there Saturday

Posted by JohnB (Member # 969) on :

I've got a few sets of spiders here, if you really wanna low-buck the fix. [Wink]

Posted by tn (Member # 5129) on :

There is nothing listed on Sac's website for the new year. Is it $35 or $45 and have they implemitted the new rules for convertibles so I can run under 14.00 w/o a cage?

Forget it, I found it.
I don't know if I want to drive all the way up there, pay $45 and only race from 1200-1600.
Unless there aren't many people, 4 hours isn't very long.

Posted by twstd5o (Member # 1981) on :

It's 45 and I guess we'll both find out more about the new convertible rules for 05...

Posted by 93PONY (Member # 60) on :

Quiet a while ago I heard that starting in 05 TNT would be $50 to race. Can anybody confirm that? Might have been a rumor....can't remember.

Posted by twstd5o (Member # 1981) on :

Great...there goes my hotdog, soda and red rope. [Frown]

Does that mean the left lane will hook as well as the right [Razz]

January
8....Sat...Test and Tune 12pm-4pm (open 9:30am)
15...Sat...Test and Tune 12pm-4pm (open 9:30am)
22...Sat...Test and Tune-Gates open 9:30am, Testing 12noon-4pm, $45 car/driver
29...Sat...Test and Tune-Gates open 9:30am, Testing 12noon-4pm, $45 car/driver

I guess the 8th and 15th will be $45 too but the website doesn't specify.

I'll go if I can get a ride. I will bring the good camera, too. Some cars need some media attention!
