I could have stayed another year, but with even more inexperienced drivers coming with more junk next season I figured I would have to deal with more stuff getting wrecked and more guys crying. These cars can't take the bumping and beating some of those guys do I di...

Well, two in a row again. That's 4 wins in 7 races this year! It's either winning or knocking out engines at this point hahah. Changed the trans out to a 3.55 when we put the last motor in- hasn't touched rev limiter since, and so far no engine issues. http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu189/turbo2...

After 2 weeks of rain, we got another race in. And it lasted about 1 turn. Got a little sideways, and corrected. Wheels turned to the right, it hooked and shot me towards the wall. Get up in the loose shit and it's like ice, so there was no stopping. http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu189/turbo230...
