Haven't been to the track in nearly a year. Felt good to get back in the seat !! The track was closed for nearly 9 months while the entire motorsports park was redone. They changed the road course and redid the dragstrip in concrete from the end of the staging lanes all the way to the sand traps [Eek!]
The track is no longer Moroso, it is now Palm Beach International Raceway.

Since the last time at the track, I have had to replace my upper torque boxes with the Wildrides S-Box. That was a fun install.

Here is a link to a few videos.

Best pass was the first pass. All downhill from there. Tires were cold on the first pass. Once I got some heat built up in them, it would launch and then bog. Even launched it at 6700, still bogged. Was going to up the air pressure in the tires, but the 80k mile trac-loc I installed to replaced my broken detroit locker decided it had had enough and called it quits. Now that I have rebuilt the diff w/carbon fiber clutches, I need to get back to that track. More to come soon [Big Grin]
