Here I go, AGAIN;(
My car is geting syncro's and a new stock clutch,figured if the trans was already out,might as well do a fresh clutch. But the clutch isen't done, so I have to run the saturday and sunday points race with my 2500HD. Had to be two points rounds this week. If it wasen't for bad luck this year, I would have no luck.:( Ric

Ric, I know what you mean. I got stuck working this Saturday, so I can only make it up to the track for Sunday. I'm pretty sure you'll go rounds in the 2500HD. Things will probably work out in the end. Good luck

New Syncro's and a new clutch are worth it.
Mine is working just fine after the rebuild.
BTW, Ric, I got a new best a couple of weeks ago at MIR. I guess the air was right. The track sure was, traction was unreal.
The Z06 went 11.756 @ 116.87 with a 1.69 60ft in a heads up final with a pro tree to win the class, Trophy and $200.00! :)

Re: Here I go, AGAIN;( (Steve Row)
Congrats on the WIN Steve!! Well all I can say about my weekend in the truck is...Help HELP HEEELP, I want my vette back, my et's were SO inconsistant it was pathetic. 16.33 first run, varying all the way to a 17.33. I can launch the thing againt the converter with the gas on the floor(4 wheel drive) I just don't get how this thing slows a few tens every run. I am susposed to get my Z06 back tomarrow afternoon, I can only dream we have the grate weather from this weekend, next weekend for super chevy. I am so looking forward to drag raceing a stick;) Somewhere this winter I lost my edge, dame thing is still hideing. :yesnod: :lol: Ric

You'll find your edge again, it's gotta come back to you sometime. I just got home a little while ago. I had a pretty good day, I was runner-up today in street.
Really??? I wonder if that'll work with my truck. :lol:

Re: Here I go, AGAIN;( (KyleBst264)
I got my vette back monday, and the trans is worse than before a page of parts were replaced. I went for my yearly check-up on me yesterday, not encouraging check-up,so today I spent the day in the hospital geting more tests. Hopefully I will get some results soon. I think I may know why my driveing has been off. Good thing I decided to let my NHRA licence laps, I woulden't have passed the physical anyway. Ric

Re: Here I go, AGAIN;( (ralph)
Thanks SO MUCH for sending the positive thoughts. They seem to be helping!! I Just finishesed up takeing Cipro and Metronidazoel anti biotic and I feel somewhat of a improvement. Had to do that before they would start figuering a date to remove the stricture in my illium. I don't feel well, but since it's 5 in the morning on race day, I am going up. It alwayways makes me feel better and if I can't stand it I can leave. Going to run through a shower and get dressed. Hopefully I will have the energy to put the DR on, but if not it's good practice on F1's anyway. If I get there I will feel like a winner. Get a round or two, Maybe I will feel good fror a few minutes!! I let you know if I survive. Ric Mad My mind up F1'S deeper stage soft launch. Sit in A/C car between round, near the rest rooms. Know question I hane drag racers feever.(I diden't mention that one to the doc;'s :blueangel: Ric
