Racing season is just about gone

Which really sucks

. I was hanging up some fuzzy dice in my car (seriously-they look awesome BTW,

) and fighting with that head liner that's in it and as I was settin in the seat it dawned on me that this season is just about gone.

I think the track I've been running at has 9 more races scheduled, but with the weather this time of the year, they'll be lucky to get half of those in, and regardless, I won't be able to make all 9.

Another track that I'm wanting to get to atleast once has 5 more races scheduled.

I think my local track (the 330 ft one, also one that I haven't been too since July, lol) may be closed for the season, soooo, its looking like my year is about wrapped up. This surely has been a wierd year for me. Started out in Casper, tore it up, then went over a month without as much as settin in racecar, drove my uncles car a couple times, and now I have a brand new car that I'm really still learning (only run it 3 races, 4 if you count a gamblers race held at a test n tune session, which I won

).

I'm not sure if I'll be racing this weekend or not. Definetly will be running next weekend (Oct. 14) though. After that though, I just dont really know.

Hell, my race season is just about to begin. It was 90 degrees here yesterday, but its 79 today getting down into the low 60s/high 50s at night. All of the street cars are just now starting to get out. I should have my truck back on the street this weekend.

my racing season is about to begin. i like to race people in the snow, with cones in a parking lot. lets just say thats really fun till the cops pull up and tell is to go somewhere else doing that, as its an abandoned/closed down school that this parking lot is at.

Heard that. Last race of the season, don't hold nothing back, lol.

Next Saturday very well could be my last time out. I hope not, but its hard to say really.

I'm a little bit jealous, because I just dont have anything fast to drive every day, lol. My new truck sounds the part, lol, but well, its a 5300 lbs truck, lol.

When's the last time you took the 'Rado to the track??? Or shoot, even the Camar'??? lol.

Last time for the truck was October of last year(damn, it doesn't seem that long ago, eh?) It ran a 7.40@93 1/8th before the tranny gave up the battle.

Last time was for the camaro was a few months ago. Last pass on it was a 12.60 on street tires in 90 degree weather. That was on the 75 shot.

I got the new tranny in the truck this past weekend. I'm working out a few bugs that have come up being that it hasn't really been driven hard in a year. I think its going to the track Saturday night, because frankly I can't take it anymore.

Don't look like I will be getting any more passes in this season.
Snow forecasted Wednesday night.

chevytrucks92 · #10 10-09-2006, 08:57 PM

I got a hell of a deal on anther built 60e. The builders exact words were, "please try to break it, we're trying to see exactly what the 4l60e will take." So, that's exactly what I'm going to do.

It feels GREAT so far. Feels like the best tranny so far, as far as firmness/overall driving.

chevytrucks92 · #14 10-10-2006, 04:58 PM

Heard that. So do they build those with manual valve bodies or do they still shift themselves.

Mr. Luos · #15 10-10-2006, 05:23 PM

Well...rain/snow mix tomorrow night.
Might have to see what is going on at the track this weekend.
