I didn't realize they weren't passing zones...

2nd Red run session Sat TWS, apologies, it's a bit bumpy I was missing a tightning screw on the suction cup.

Just a little

I'm hoping that I can get by with a cosmetic fix and delay a permanent fix until the day that I restore the car to stock parts.

I don't get how that happens w/o attention deficit or fatique, and the latter shouldn't be happening at a DE.

My concern would be that while my car is quite settled between 4-5, it is heavily loaded up on the left between 9-10 followed by heavy braking. Plus, that's where I tend to make up ground on otherwise equally bad drivers, so don't take that advantage away!

I'd be more comfortable with passing between 1-2 (as I apparently proved to the corner workers this past weekend ).

Not that mine was any smoother, but dang, I lost a tooth just watching that.

Sooo.... who punted the T4 rebar cone?

Just so that you don't get the wrong idea, this is not a windshield replacement. They 'drill' out the windshield to remove the starburst and fill it back in with clear epoxy. It is a 'professional' cosmetic fix. Call Gladwill if you're interested, I know he hasn't made arrangements yet. We're focused on getting the car to the dyno on Saturday.

Ha ha ha now THAT's a video I'd like to see. If I had known that the corner workers would put it back in between run groups, I might have turned in a little sooner there.

You'll be glad to know that the car did not get hail damage last night

Once we get through the TWS club race, I'll give John a big swift kick in the butt and help get the darn thing rebuilt.

John knows John Page over at 21st Century Muscle. Carrollton/North Dallas, Trinity Mills and Midway. I think they are going to be open from 9-1, do you want me to check availability?

Yeah, it's going to be pretty sad for those guys that work on Lingenfelter Vettes watch a Spec Barbie work on spinning those drums...
