one month people! It's crunch time (mostly for me, I think everybody else that is signed up is problem free :twisted.

HA! Fear not my friend, for I missing the the entire front driving assembly, rack included. All hubs, spindals, tierods, etc, are gone from the front AND rear. 5-lug hubs have to be machined, rotors have to be fit, fenders have to be rolled, and that's not including the p/s cooler, oil cooler, and a whole list of "little" things that need done hock:

*cheers* Here's to late night's, busted knuckles, and getting finished in time */cheers*

Here's to you, Mr. Get-Your-Car-Ready-For-A-Track-Event-At-The-Last-Minute-Man. Lesser men would postpone their track endeavors. Women deride your impossible folly. Most people would give up. But not you, Mr. Get-Your-Car-Ready-For-A-Track-Event-At-The-Last-Minute-Man. Undeterred, you toil ceaseless to get more boost, higher cornering speed, or to simply get your busted pile running at marginal functionality to make it through the weekend. You possibly could have had your car ready weeks ago, but that's about as much fun as a race that's won on the first lap. You understand what drama is, you value true glory, and you Mr. Get-Your-Car-Ready-For-A-Track-Event-At-The-Last-Minute-Man, understand what true hero is. While few attempt to emulate your brilliance, you are an inspiration to all of us.



Especially pertinent to: RJ

ha, that's nothing. He's got 4 weeks to get it together. A better example was 5 days before we were about to leave for VIR was pete coming back from Mexico on a red eye, getting up at 5am, driving 2hrs to pick up a driveshaft, driving another 2hrs to drop it off at the shop, waiting for them to MAKE ANOTHER ONE and then taking it back 2hrs to the shop so the guy that JUST FINISHED PUTTING IT TOGETHER could install the driveshaft, mind you, the car hadn't been driven even 1 mile in 2-3? years, 5 days before its first track event!

that's dedication (or a shit load of cattle prodding from me )
