Hey guys!
Looks like I'll have the transmission back in the car in a couple of days and should be ready to roll again.
After giving it more thought we are going to leave my son with a sitter over the weekend so it will just be me and my wife. Realized my helmet won't cut the SA2000/2005 standard so I got a pair coming that should be here just in time as well. Found a decent deal on some Pyrotect open face SA2005 models. If any of you haven't yet gotten the correct kind - time is running out.
We also decided we are going to drive the car to the event instead of trailer - with some tools in a tote and a prayer that we don't break anything bad enough that we can't limp it back home. Hoping I can bum some air as needed though so we can adjust tire pressure up for the track and back down for the ride.
