Work was super busy and then when it slowed down I renewed a couple of my certifications which meant going back to the training classes. So I am now recertified for OSHA permit required confined space entry and excavations/competent person. Also am currently trying to get approval for QSP certification. I passed my QSP exam but your not official until you get an underlying certificate so I am now working on completing the application process for my CESSWI. Lots of reading/studying to do.

As far as the car goes, after my last event at T-Hill I noticed a vibration in the drive line my last two laps of the 5th session. Turns out it was the trans. The car has been up on jack stands for the past month and I finally got time this morning to box the trans up for shipping. Going to take some time off on Tuesday to shipp'er out for refreshing.

Hey Gae!


You know how I tune my stuff?? I drive it as fast as I can and if it starts skating around then I know I've hit the limits of traction -- either end of the car depending on which end is skating. When that happens -- I try to change my line in that same corner next time -- or I enter or exit slower. DONE.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I woke up early this morning, busted out the skill saw and tape measure, then chopped and cut some 1x1 and 1/2" plywood I had laying around. Worked out perfect. Tranny fits like a glove.

Had to get it done before taking my boys to the go kart place.

No it's GW that "skates"

I'm sure GW appreciates the less technical term plywood but I'd call it OSB.

Congrats on the certs

HAHA.....I know, right? Boys suddenly got the jones to do some karting....they've been bugging me all week so I finally got the opportunity to take them. Fun as usual........Anthony normally beats Nicks lap times but Nick beat him all 3 sessions this time. Anthony was bent out of shape

Thanks Rob. Still have one big one to go and I have to be accepted through the State of California in the application process in order to take the exam but I should be good.

Awesome job on picking up the difference between ply and OSB. Not sure many would had known what I was talking about if I said OSB.
