After a mad dash to Texas last saturday for a trans rebuild, thanks Jake!! I got it all back together,took it for a spin and she's ready to head back to the track tomorrow night for some TNT, 4 weeks without making a pass, almost like winter ;) now if the rain will stay away :D

The same Jake that posts here on Team Chevelle? That's one smart cookie there!

When I got my tranny rebuilt, I headed out to the track and layed down some of my previous best numbers. Before the rebuild I had dropped to 85mph in the 1/8. After teh rebuild, I was back to 87-88mph. and I only use 1rst and 2nd in the 1/8th mile.

Go have some fun, and don't let your old friend "the tree" get the best of you!

Bob,

Glad to hear you are up and running again. If you are ever down to the North Texas area again drop me a line. I'm just on the other side of the lake from Denton.

Rained out graemlins/angry.gif got to the track,got unloaded and in the staging lanes and lightning is in the area so they shut down the computers,then the rains came,get soaked loading back up. I might make the trek to Joplin and www.mokandragway.com (http://www.mokandragway.com) on sunday,weather permitting,otherwise I'll wait til next friday TNT and race saturday. I had no idea any TC fans were so close to Jake,had I known I would have let you know Jason. On another note, I was 6th in points when the trans broke,missed two races and fell to 11th, 1 point out of 10th, BUT at the end of the year they throw out your 3 worst points days and total em up,so hopefully I can get back up towards the top 5 again. :D
