Agreed. But I like it though

The pressure plate is supposed to be good for 400 ft-lb...and my car is making less than 300 ft-lb

I would talk to John Tecce. I keep my head firmly buried inside of the gearbox. I don't know what final solution they came up with.

Thanks bud! You are a rocket in your car too... Must have been that training we got early in life back in PR...

The Radioactive Banana is going into hibernation; if someone challenges my track records, I'll bring it out again. BTW, I will be selling the MOTEC and the Chase Cam out of it.

Hope I can transfer the knowledge gained on that one to the Cup.

Was a second back from you. Left the field back in 3. Was looking to repeat sprint 1. 17 was all kinds of fun without the debri flag that first time through for sure. The safety car was going to slow and I couldn't get any air inside the car with my hand out the window. Was almost passed out at the restart and was caught snoozing in 4th. Was fun racing a few laps before hitting a 944 parked in 3.

Glad I saw some video of the fireball. At least my day wasn't that bad.

Yikes, I did not know you came in contact with the parked 944.

There was a lot of oil from T17 to T1 and then there were assorted car parts at the hairpin, T9 and T10.
