Abby,
I missed this thread until now. I'm really glad you got it on the track and had a great day. That car is a work of art. I'm jealous that you did your first DE before me. I scratched from the one I was supposed to do this past October because I didn't think my car was up to the task. Next spring will be my first hit of the 'track pipe'.
That sucks about your windshield.
It's awesome that you can drive in January down there, we're 'off season' up here.
Congrats and good luck!!!

Your new Cycle of Life begins...
1. Buy cool fast car.
2. Start going to track events. Get hooked.
3. Throw lots of money at cool fast car.
4. Realize that cool, fast car does not fit in any racing classes.
5. Buy slower, cheaper car to race.
6. Notice that actually racing slow, "cheap" car costs as much as track days with the cool, fast car.
7. Sell cool, fast car.
8. Race, race, race.
9. Realize that you're broke, the house is falling down (because you have no time to deal with it), and you're sick of driving a big diesel pickup to the 7-11.
10. Sell all race junk.
Repeat.

I have a friend that lives about 1-2 air miles from the track and he met up with me at my shop on Saturday am before I took off for NPR so I could fix a race Mustang 4R70W tranny for him.......he said "1 car was louder than the rest and I could hear it from my house".
He meant yours.....

Life is good. I did my first DE this year after years of owning a Porsche. I have been kicking myself for not starting sooner but the good news is that I started. I am in the winter lands and sad that I have months till we get some good weather. Glad to see I am not the only one sitting and thinking of betters days to come.
