whos day sucked?
 
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 08-27-2007 04:52 PM

Yes, that sucks.

Mike 08-27-2007 04:54 PM

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 08-27-2007 04:56 PM

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

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.

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 08-27-2007 08:32 PM

Sorry to hear Lee.....

So sorry to hear that. Spend a lot of time with her.

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.
