Good luck.

Thanks David, I would really love to do the solid rear axle, but I'm going to do something different this time around... be patient and fix what I have before changing again

The main problem I'm having is the drastic change on the car, going back and forth fixing the new things put on the car. I have seen a lot of people quit, sell their cars or part it out before finishing the project and I don't want to get in too over my head and be in the same boat.

Give me another month Dan and I might have a car for you to buy with the axle in it! I'm tired of the hassles myself. It is SO much easier running my RS at the track than it is the black car. It's easy to get burnt out.

You'll get it.

I have to give some props to Shepherd for sticking with breaking all the AWD crap for all those years. I can't stay motivated that long.

I was running Jake Montgomery, he ended up running 9.1 at 159 with 1.59 60 foot, I ran 10.2 at 160 with a 1.49 60 foot, so I'm sure I would have had my 8 second pass if I didn't miss 2nd gear. The track is slick up on the top end, as you see third gear got a little loose. I have another qualifying run tonight, and then off to eliminations, wish me luck please

HELL yeah bro! so sick break those 8's!! congrats on the time doing a hell of a job. final nice seeing u bringing that beast back to the track!
