Isn't that the date for the DE registration? I believe I've already registered for the Club Race. You gonna be up by then? I'm working to get a new front sway bar for installation in time for the festivities. Saw some pictures that Doug took of my car after my spin in session 2. You can tell the car was definitely hurting with a LOT of body roll. CRAP!

good catch Toby

Updated first post

You bet I will be running. Engine starts getting pulled tonight. New fresh engine gets picked up Saturday and then the fun assembly begins. Eric's car is super fast - (sub 2min easy) the engine had been built 4 years ago raced for over 2 years and then abandoned for 2 at the shop in Waco. I am just damn glad if it were going to break it didnt do it in the race and the fact it happened at 4pm Saturday DE- caused minimal problems for others which I have made sure everyone got my message of apology.

I will be working on her every night for the next month. I got lucky finding one yesterday and selling some spare stuff in the shop I had to make it all come together.

see ya on the track soon pal

First event for my daughter since she obtained her driver's license, so she's looking forward to taking the wheel for parade laps. She can almost taste next year's DE season.

I'll be putting them in this weekend. I'll let you know how it works out. Extra noise may be worth it for the lower weight, more power, and less heat.
