Default Props to Jason and drivinhard!

These guys sacrificed a beautiful Saturday off to help (OK, they did all the work which required a brain) me put a new clutch and various other items in the race car.

Their only lapse in judgement was letting me help put the car on the trailer afterwards. But hey, if a fire extinguisher is never used, it's just a trophy, right?

Thanks again guys!

Does that mean the car is getting close to being ready?
Any events planned?

Can you believe that battery (and the winch) are still good? All that smoke came from the little wires. Battery still had 12v, I used it to unload the car. They pack a LOT of smoke into those little wires I guess.
