OK........

My last race was 2 weeks ago at Atco....the Open series race.

I just redid the trans in my S/C dragster (don't throw any fits cause I don't have a friggen Stocker). I did my own trans.....was having trouble hitting the .370 tree.....I gutted the trans and replaced the VB and some other parts. Tested it at home and it was fine on jackstands.....

Loaded up my stuff.... Car in the trailer, camper on my pickup....

Drove to Atco after work thursday...2.5 hours. Arrived in time for beer to celebrate arriving alive......

Watched my friend make a mess as he changed his trans that was puked!.

Made 2 runs next day.....trans leaked.....I fixed it... it was a minor error on my part and not much of a leak.........haven't done my own transmission in a long time......

Made 2 more runs next day before first rd......got my act together and went to rd 3 on Sunday........missed the tree and got the big L on my ticket.....


Hung out....talked to some of my Stocker friends and enjoyed watching and the beautiful weather.......got my "gas money" check and headed back up north.......Arrived home in one piece on time and put some of my stuff away......Went in the house and rest up some......go to work Monday at 6:30

Proper planning.......things went well.....no mishaps....no big stories.....Could have easily been a Stocker with the same story........
