Good luck and hopefully the rain holds off!

Can't wait for updates! Ok, I can wait but I don't want to.

The enclosed trailer is retired from duty since it's not a car trailer and things are too sketchy. Must buy enclosed car trailer before October

Enclosed will take your racing to a whole new level. And it sure is handy when you drive past Summit and hit the clearance section. We filled half the bed. Crazy!

We've dropped up to $700 in one shot on clearance shopping at Summit. Laying on table at chiropractor getting my back in shape to crawl over my door bars

Good luck today.

How about an update...were you completely rained out today?

Tech and RAIN.

That was a serious rain in Toledo, I'd guess you got hammered pretty hard there as well.

It was (and on/off still is) the kind of rain where you have your wiper blade on high speed.

Yep, wipers on high coming home. Tomorrow forecast is promising.

I'll be heading up in a little bit to spectate for the afternoon.

The photo gallery they released this morning has a photo of the datsun.

I love how the trailer wheels don't match and the car wheels don't either. Perfect case of function over form.

Or the epitome of GRM

Andrew Nelson is one of the 10 fans up against f&f. They should be running soon.

In reply to EvanB:

In the fan peer review section? Or what ever Ever it's called

Not sure what it's called. They drew 10 names to race against roadkill cars.

In reply to EvanB:

K. Thanks. Are you there at track?

I noticed on roadkill Facebook page they are do live feeds every hour or 2

live right now on FB

Andrew and I were the first two up to start the event.

After two glorious burnouts we lined up together. Staged, hit it on the last yellow. Andrew took off like a rocket. I felt the nose come up, ass squat, slicks wrinkle, and instead of launching BOTH rear halfshafts exploded. I got up to 25mph and rolled to a rock solid 35 second pass, only 27 seconds slower than the last pass I made in the car.

I just got home, figured I would spend time with the kids and figure out if it's possible to get stronger bits for the IRS or just say forget it and build a suspension around the $35 9" ford i got at a garage sale.

in a weird way it's kinda cool knowing i put together something so monstrous that it could destroy both half shafts in one fell swoop. The new torque converter hits HARD off the line.

Gee patrick...that blows

Been watching live feed on Facebook

Pat,

Sorry you broke, but at least it was spectacular.

Mr. Nelson raced and beat Finnegan. He ran a 10.3? in the Beetle!
