Great pic! Alberta is having a fantastic fall, hoping to get all the way into December this year just like the last two years. Fingers are crossed!! :cheers:

Hey Racer44

One last question :D

Did you have any reliability problems with your s/c setups. I am tempted to do this someday, but hear lots of stories of belt slippage. break downs etc. Hijacking my own post :lol:
:cheers:

Winter sucks...:(

I just took off and cleaned all four wheels and wells...Next is complete fluid/filter changes and detailing and then she'll be ready for a long nap.

I used to wait longer but the wheels are such a PIA to clean that I don't want to do it again...I must be getting old.. :lol: :lol: :lol:

My local track is closed until spring anyway, so no big deal.

Gotta get a playstation or something to hold me over this year.

good luck!
