Getting things sorted out and drug the car down to reynolds and ran a 9.46 straight off the trailer. Then blew the rear end up in the car. Here are some photos from the weekend.

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?

Financial recovery
![]() We hurt the transmission also. The 36 element super sprauqe died. The only gears left are 1st and reverse. I am kinda glad winter is here. The car has a spool and 33 spline moser axles. I think I am going to try and set the gears a little tighter and try again, or break down and put a 9" Ford in it. My Friends will hammer me if I do that. I am not a Ford guy at all.

I just blew the teath of the ring and pinoin and hurt the front pinion bearing. Nothing else in the rear end was hurt. I did have the gears set exactly to the center of the GM tolerance. Thinking of trying it with setting it up to the tight side of the tolerance.
