Short and sweet. NPB tonight at darlington.
Finally played with the 2 step. Car left strong.
Cut a 1.66
1/8 6.97
1/8 103.27 mph
1/4 10.66
1/4 136.52 mph
Maxed out the boost controller and the turbos would only make 12.5 psi.
Then next pass and planned to be my last. I left on the two step again. Rear got loose and boom. Rear wheels won't even rotate more than a half turn. I'm thinking trans output shaft.
John's coming with my trailer. Best neighbor ever. Mr Buckner was out here and offered me a ride as well. So now I sit and wait watching some bad ass grudge racing in my heated seats. Burr!!!

Damn! Hopefully it's an easy fix for you, I've been stranded at the track before as well, keep us updated!
Congrats on the new best Carl.
That's awesome that you have a great neighbor. I wouldn't of trusted Buckner either, he don't like Chevy's. Luckily I had a ford when he towed my heap.

Congrats on the NPB! That's unfortunate about the trans. Time to go see Gerald.

It could possibly be in the differential. From what I have seen of them, they aren't that impressive to me for holding up to just the stock hp that Chevrolet pushes through them.

Would have cost $5000.00 in fuel to tow it with the TBSS. One way.:poke:
Congrats on the New Peanut Butter. I like mine with Jelly.

Well at least you made it out there, I had a flat on the trailer. Tire was shredded and stuck, and ripped the brake line off the rear axle...Congrats, that thing is moving on the big end..

What turbo setup are you running that maxes out at 12 psi?
Congrats on the times!

I think I over ported the wastegate (internals) trying to get rid of the boost creep.

you must be one hard headed dude to do all this work alone!
i texted you about 8:45 to see if you needed help!
looks like the jack worked, good deal!
man, you gotta help a brotha out, i ended helping my wife do her Geology homework, her college is killing me!
i needed a place to escape to. i was gonna ride the bicycle down, so it would take me longer to get home

Lol. I saw your text, but not until 1030. Appreciate the offer though. The faster I fix it the faster I break it and the more money I spend. No rush here. Lol
