I took the car to the local autoX this weekend to do some test and tune, as well as a shake down on it. Car was fantastic! I finished 15th out of 120 cars! would have been top 10 if I wouldn't have clipped a cone on my last run. Also had the opportunity to take some pictures for my newest sponsor, Improved Racing. Let me know what you guys think.













After all that beating, on the way home I went from first to second pretty hard on the highway and this happened!



Good thing I have good insurance on this thing as I had to come home on a rollback! New driveshaft with a larger Ujoint is installed and ready to go, Next stop Daytona!

Got the yoke in the Diff upgraded and the rear U-joint beefed up to a 3150 unit. It looks about 30% bigger than the one that came out.


Drove the car around town a bit and it feels pretty good, looks like I'll make Daytona! Car is loaded up and leaving this morning!

I made it down to Daytona Yesterday, flew in like a Rockstar!

Spent Friday unloading the car and getting it through tech and all my paper work straight to run time trials.

This is where we were paddocked, right outside the garage in the grass at turn 4, not too bad actually, close to the grid.

and they didn't lock us out every night like the poor souls inside the gate!



More to come, the car is FAST, Stupid FAST at the end of the day I was 5th in the time trials thanks to a couple of Ringers that showed up in a Nationwide Mustang and another in a Daytona Prototype, where's the fairness in that? I did spin the car going into the infield "road course" section, but other than that, the car just drives itself around the track!

5400 RPM in 4th with a 2.59 gear and 1:1 trans, with a 315 30 18 tire, anyone wanna figure the speed out for me? I'm way to tired to do math tonight.

I did break the ear off the starter somehow, so I need to find a push start crew to keep me going tomorrow.
