Doesn't seem like a big enough offence to get kicked out. Anyways seems like it was a good meet. Pissed i missed it. My daughters asthma flairs up really bad a few times a year and none of the medications work at home. Sleeping in a hospital chair sucks.

Yeah I was really tempted to ask the ranger where it was posted that pictures weren't allowed in the park but since he let us finish it wasn't a big deal.

Also don't be too bummed out about missing it. The past year or two we've been trying to have a spring and fall cookout so chances are we'll set something similar up for the fall.

Also not a bad idea. Maybe next time we can hit up Falls Lake or whatever the other one was

Just hard to keep up with things. Not as much of a forum jocket as I was 10 years ago.

Glad the meet went well, hoping to have the all new krackmonkey evoX at the next one!

Clutch disc was cracked. Clutch barely had 500 miles on it. It was due to the transmission coming off the block because the bell housing was cracked (See how far this rabbit hole goes down, lol).

I was pissed but it wasn't Spec-Ops fault. They caught it as they were about to put the car back together so I had them get another clutch disc and Quarter master was nice enough to send 2 so I have a completely brand new clutch and flywheel.

Been driving it the car now everyday (mainly because i miss it) to put the miles on the transmission and start getting on it to see what else may break. Hopefully I'm in the clear and I can enjoy the car for longer then a few weeks.

I have a few bugs to work out (Sub stopped working and my HID's for my foglights aren't working) but otherwise it starts and drives of and feels good when it sees any kind of boost (Trying to stay out of it for 500 miles, but its hard not to when it wants to spool all the time).

anyone know if NASA autosport does autoX in this region? I'm going nuts on their halfassed website. Maybe they don't do autoX here, but i'm going to be pissed if SCCA is my only option. SCCA has less then 1 event per month, and the season seems to be spread out over like 9-10 months. Which doesn't work for someone who's sent overseas 2+ times a year.

pretty annoyed right now...

any other regular autox'ers here?
