Default Good, bad and the Ugly

Good:
I ran another new personal best at Atco yesterday.
60' 1.59
1/8 7.39 @ 96mph
1/4 11.47 @ 125

Bad:
Car still has a high 10 in her, but need more seat time and some driveline improvements (see ugly)

Ugly:
Need a new tranny. 2nd gear finally gave up on me and refused to go in unless I double clutch her.
Got a call out to Rodney and Cartek is ready to throw 'er in early Dec.

Overall I had a blast with all the guys and we got some good runs in before the unwelcomed rain.
Thanks again to Rob Z for a great rental, track coaching, and making it a fun time for all with lunch at the only diner with power!
