WOW! Congrats Sam! You really got yourselves an awesome ride! Now that is flyin'. Your gonna need wheelie bars soon! Sorry to hear about the rear. I did the same thing a year and a half ago. Broke the ring gear in half, yoke on the drive shaft and input shaft in the trans. What were you leaving at?

Now that is what I'm talkin' about! My wife and I have been talking about her driving our car. She is a little worried about it since she has only run her GTA which run's mid 15's and our SRT-4(since departed). As soon as I saw you posted it I ran and got her and she said, well maybe if we turn the boost all the way down.....at first! I would love for her to do that, I think I might actually even enjoy racing even more!
Again, a big Congrats to you and your wife. Truely a spectacular job. Hopefully next year we can meet up at one of the Buick events.

Turn the boost down and put her behind the wheel. I bet you won’t be able to get her out of the drivers seat, and I bet she will be having you turn the boost all the way up sooner than you think. Driving a race car is a lot easier than being a Mom.
I would love to catch up with you, and your family at one of the events. We have a so much fun at the Buick events. Are you planning on attending Bowling Green? It is snowing out right now, so having a broken car is not that big of a deal right now. We will get it fixed up for next year. The trans was also hurt.

I know! My wife was said it would be alot easier driving a car down the track than taking care of a 16 month old and a 2 year old! LOL! I think we have a pretty good chance of going to Bowling Green next year. We had just got a motor home a couple of months back and we are looking forward to taking a trip like that in it. I am just not sure if it would be able to haul the trailer too so I will talk to Jack and maybe work somthing out with him to get it down there. When there is Jack, there is always a way! Well, I guess with it snowing you guys won't have to be in a rush to get the car fixed. I guess that is the only nice thing about living in an area that snows being a racer. You can have that time to fix the car....and financially recover from the previous season! Are you guys thinking about putting a spool in it?
