OOPS
I forgot to show you guys what we also found the other day checking the oil... It seems when My Car was shipped(how else would this get there?) they probably tightened down the front tire a tad much and it was tugging on the sidewall. Well, there's a nice chunk of rubber missing to where the threads are starting to show. Thank Heavens My GS wheels will be here soon on NEWER tires. I've been going a might slow since seeing this. It's not going far until it's either replaced or the new tires/rims come. Again, I am VERY lucky this didn't blow out and we found it when we did. The reason it's soaked is, I was washing the mud off the fenderwells from the body shop visit the other day. I'm also headed to a show tomorrow(weather pending) and want it SPARKLING.

Re: OOPS (mackeyred96)
I hear ya Mack.. I feel bad for Him... He stalled. That'd **** me off too. It's racing though. Look at me? I didn't really ask too much about leaving the line back in Nov(I just matted it and smoked the tires) Probably could have powerbraked it a tad and softened the leave(better e.t.).
I'm glad He HOOKS now. Boy, it was a bitch watching Him blast off a few good time trials then elims came and there He went up in smoke.
You've got some good ideas Mackster.
