I'm amazed you were able to correct that... Good job man
Did you go cuss someone out that missed that spot on the track? His mistake could have cost you a buttload of money

I don't understand PBIR half of the time...it seems like tech, track officials hell even the concessions are in slomo. It takes at least 4 to 6 min in between runs per car to go down, it boggles my mind. On a good note the track is super smooth and has plenty of shutdown room.

Nice save though and thanks for letting me borrow the chute string.



Excuse the rant!

I wish I could say yes.....lol...Kept popping no.15 fuse and tried chasing down the gremlin might have to swap alternators. That fuse would pop then disable vss and I would be stuck two-step mode. I figure if you keep fixing all the broken parts you'll eventually run out of things to fix........maybe. Your car moves and looks good.
