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 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

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...

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.
