Need help at VIR
The Torque tube in my C6 Z decided to let go shortly after arriving at VIR. We have a shop to get it done if someone has one I can buy tonight. Please call my cell at 513-304-1689 if you have a 6 speed C6 torque tube available that's only a few hours from VIR.
Thanks
Thanks

On a side note I think between Todd and I yesterday we finally did my engine in. Between the 7 quarts of Oil we used in our combined 5 sessions yesterday, the 15 psi of oil pressure on right hand turns and the 2+ quarts of Power steering fluid, It's official. I'm pretty sure it's dead...
I'm glad Todd was able to sample the craziness that is my car on a track. It's fun, but lots of work to make it even close to fast. Slow, loose, tight, sloppy, smokey, unresponsive and sometimes twitchy.
Time to fix all that crap now, and actually listen to Danny and use the right parts :o

Thanks for everyones help, but unfortunately we were unable to repair Todd's car......Sucks, one thing after another. We just got done putting a new RAFT'ed LS7 in the car and now we are going to be taking the back of the car apart 
....thats how it goes sometime with race cars...
Shame too, it was going to be fun restriping VIR with all of his new found power
That car is an absolute rocket, and now will be competitive in TTU...

If by special sticker you mean a giant rainbow with a **** and *****, no I would not let him put his signature on my car.
