whos day sucked?

[Mike]

mine.

took the day off so i could go to ttp's atco rental......paid mucho dinero to attend.

took my first run, bogged down real bad and ran a 12.6 at 110 on a 1.8 60'

came back around did a burnout and my car was acting a little wierd :shrug: so i roll out of the burnout up to the line and the car wont shift out of second???? slow to a stop and it stalls.......thats right, my clutch is useless :)

so i banged it into first so that i could get it off the track into the pits, then my buddy was nice enough to drive all the way down to atco from trenton with his trailer and bring me home.

soooooooo.......... 175 bucks for a sweet track day turned into 175 bucks for ONE run and a 1000+ bill for a new clutch/flywheel

[BonzoHansen]

Yes, that sucks.

[Mike]

it was also the first time my dad ever was able to come watch me race, and it lasted one run.......lol

so i pull it around and he says............. been there done that... he's right i cant even be mad.

at least it was the clutch and not any other part of that drivetrain

[BonzoHansen]

At least you updated your sig. Classy.

[Mike]

had to update, its gonna be broke for a while, my seasons over

[BonzoHansen]

had to update, its gonna be broke for a while, my seasons over

Me too.

[qwikz28]

talk to paul about clutches. the textrillia seems to be the best thing since sliced bread.

oh yeah and if you decide to do it yourself, can you let me know? i would like the experience

[trashman01]

[AliWantsNss]

I am nervous for rental season. My car needs to have the tune updated, and I need suspension before I head out. Try the new CARTEK clutch, its just awesome.

[79CamaroDiva]

[Mike]

[baddest434]

[WildBillyT]

My mom is back in the hospital again. She was diagnosed with lung cancer last month, and it has progressed to the point where clots are forming in her lungs. The Doctors says its just a matter of time now, because there isn't anything they can do.
And today my parents 55th wedding anniversary.

So it's just a matter of waiting for the word now - she can last up to 2 weeks they say...

[Tru2Chevy]

Sorry to hear Lee.....

[j0n]

edit: if my body works when you do the clutch lemme know ill be glad to lend a hand, as i've done mine like 4 times

My pops just had a defibrillator put in. Like a pacemaker, but it's a little jump start unit. I grimace whenever the phone rings at weird times.

[ar0ck]

That sucks Mike, but at least you have a good job to help pay for this stuff.

I've been applying to new jobs like a mad man for the past 2 weeks and I've only had 1 interview so far. I've probably sent out at least 15 resumes, left countless voice mails and not one response.

[Knipps]

today wasn't too bad actually

sucks to hear about the clutch though dude

[AliWantsNss]

new one? i heard they're old one wasn't too bad either

I have one of the older style, and I like it a LOT, but the new ones are even better. I drove my friends car for the weekend and couldn't believe the differance!

[j0n]
