We broke our diff. on the second round of qualifying on saturday at the the Lone Star Nationals. No one out there but Pan Auto had a trany to give me as I was already on my back up trany. They took me and team to there shop, let us use their air tools, feed us and made sure we had everything we needed to get back to competion. Sunday morning we ran a 9.45 at 157 mph...but only made it to the semis because of some horsepower loss. But if your ever in San Antonio and need parts or help, give them a call as they are some of the nicest people ive ever met and you can tell them I sent you there way..

how was the drive home?

 

Pann Auto.... I totally forgot that my uncle opened a Pann Auto branch in TX. I would like to check it out sometime.

 

The drive home was ok...lots of wind with some lightning. I drove about 18 of the 25 hours it took to get home. I had the 10 pm through 6 am shift. I think I fell asleep at the wheel like 10 times. I guess I should have Pulled over and rested a little, but im very stuburn. Also a big shot out to all the IDRC guys for helping me get to the race and searching for a trany...All of them are rad guys

 

 

is this Earl Laskey's son who drives the CRX?

 

Yep...thats me

 

Where in SA? I've been looking for a place to work on my car but they are all rip offs and don't do the job right. Do you have an address or phone number?
thanks,
michael

 

You live on the same street as Mike used to w/ the silver accord, right?

 

Yeah...Mike P or as I call him, Duck do you live near me?

I will have to get back to you on their location and number. I cant find their card right now. I do remember they were somewhere on the 410 if that helps?

haha, yeah...I basicly grew up with him as he used to almost be my next door neighbor

 

Was is Pan or Pann Auto?

 

it was pann auto...

 

niiice. i'm glad to hear you didn't drive all that way for nothing.

 

I bought the turbo and RevHard manifold that came off your car before you did the new setup. Ask your dad about me. I live in knoxville.

 

That was cool of Pann to help a fellow racer out. Your car may be fast but none of the cars that they work on work very well. All they like to do is break ****, and make fucked up conversions with all kinds of wierd *** tail lights. Their mechanics suck ***** and couldn't install cold air intake without screwing it up. The only guys that I can think of that do decent import work is Thunder Fab and Max Velocity. Still though, they can't compete with the ricey demand here in SA. Not many real racers around here. Which is sad.

 

Well, im sorry to hear that. I was just reporting on how nice the people there were. I really cant say if there work is good or not, but the kindness they showed to my team was great.

--so how is that turbo and manifold working for you???

 

Very well, and thank your dad again for me.

Good luck with your car.

Tell us the setup you are using now. Turbo, engine managment, motor, internals.

Thanks.

 

tell your dad that he shoulda took up on my offer ! I was willing ot borrow him my tranny...lol

 

haha...yeah that would have been cool although no way to get it there in time.
