Lots of fun despite the, how do I put it, “lack” of organization. I think that Mark’s volunteers might be getting a little bored of working long hours for free so he can buy a Porsche…or so a little birdy told me.
The car didn’t run quite as fast as it had before, I kept having massive traction problems all day. In the end though I managed to just hardly beat that red Silvia convertible from Lethbridge in one of the most exciting races I’ve ever been in. His front bumper was literally at my door for the last half of the track, but I managed to just hold on for the win. He actually ran a slightly better time, but I beat him on the tree.
I’m not sure if the Silvia owner is on these boards, but I’d just like to say again that it was a great race, thanks a bunch. If you come up next year I’m going to have to buy you a beer.
So far the verdict is that I may have snapped the inner axle that runs inside the diff. But this is just based on exterior observation under the car. I haven’t taken anything apart yet.
It may not cost much to replace but my biggest problem right now is time. I used up all my vacation time (and sick time) already, mostly because of the wedding & honeymoon. Friends are busy. I’m busy. I don’t know when I’m going to have time to fix this.
I want to do as much of this myself to save on labor but part of me is thinking "fuck it, get the flatbed back to my house and haul the car down to Ericksen!!.. " but I’m not ready to throw the towel in yet. But I don’t want to leave this problem over winter. The car’s not ready for my annual winter storage ritual: the car is filthy, the gas tank is almost empty, the oil is in need of changing, and the wrong tires are on the car for storage… so I can’t just throw the car cover on and forget about her 'til spring. :evil:
I was thinking B class but thinking again he ran 13.2’s in qualifying so he would have been a class. A 13.1 in the finals wouldn’t have won him the title since the Hondas were running high 12’s.
I dunno the elims got all screwy and disorganized like several people have commented on hard to tell until the winners are posted. All I know is ChromeDragon won the C class for sure because I watched that final.
That sucks about the diff man. I think its gotta be pulled and looked at before you’ll know the extent of the damage. Any leaks showing up? (as in cracked housing)
He won A class, because all of the other cars he was supposed to race either screwed up the launch (Midtown Civic), red lighted, or broke (Black talon). Because of all of that, he won.

That sucks to hear man. Just last week there was someone selling a Z32 LSD on 780tuners for a damn good price. Might be worth checking out?
Haha. Yes. That race was the most fun i have ever had, let alone the closest race ever. I loved the whole show. It would have been well worth the drive up from lethbridge just for that race and to see all the nice cars that you guys had out there. Seeing all your necc cars in person is a whole diffrent expearance. I loved them all. Props to all you!
