Are you comming to Immokalee for the IHRA race?
Mike,

High gear was fried in it, they couldn't explain why I was able to move with the condition of the high gear set. Waiting for the trans guy to finish it up this week.
As for Immokale, I don't think I will be able to attend that, I am probably going to stick to some of the closer SSSA races close to home (SGMP, Valdosta, Lakeland, Gainesville) if I can get some assitance I might try to one of the NHRA Div 2 races. My biggest concern now however is to get this thing dialed in, we don't have clean pass on it do to the transmission problems I didn't know I had.
Have you finished up your brake upgrade?
