Default Labor Day Bracket Bash...

I will be racing the Labor Day event at Bradenton next weekend...I will be in the Pro ET/No Box class since I need some seat time off the bottom bulb...I am still learning top so I am not competitive enough to race that class yet...

See ya there. Running Sportsman and Pro in a silly street car. Going to put a sticky note on the dash reminding me which class I'm running. 1/8 for pro, 1/4 for sportsman. Dialing 9.0 in pro and 14.0 in Sportsman.

A little change of plans. My wife will be bringing her tear drop to the track so we will arrive Friday night for the Test and Tune and stay at the track for the weekend.

I believe there is a reason for everything, The transmission that came back from the builder in the car has been problematic since day one. I discovered it was a unit from another car not a fresh build of the stock transmission from my car that I paid for. It went back to the trans builder multiple times for repairs and was still never right. The loss of the repaired trans may very well be a "blessing in disguise" as I will get an all new build.

Keep your legion of followers posted on the round by round action!
