Well ---- I'VE only done 3 track weekends ---- but it was used before I bought it -- Mark S drove it off the track -- Jody has hammered it -- and Charley certainly put it through it's paces... and Jack Mauer before that... so she's no virgin!

Yeah --- Now if I can just keep all those rotational forces in the drivetrain rather than the body going round and round -- we'll have lots of fun!

Keep working on Schmooth input transitions, lines, and accurately utilizing those braking, apex, and exit references.

Dig your car..... the track is where it is at!

If you got away with only spending $1500 in parts on a dog box repair consider yourself lucky. I had a GForce GSR setup and lost reverse (they are super weak). Trash floated around inside the box and took out pretty much everything. $3500 in parts for my screw up. Mid Valley dog boxes seem to be the most expensive to repair. Jerico seem to be the cheapest. Used parts are about 50% or less than new ones.

Nice to see you spending money on it. Nothing like the black hole of maintaining race cars.
