Damn! So much for getting on a prepped track for some serious work. Cancelled. It’s supposed to be dry tomorrow and there is a open night T&T so in spite of expecting the starting line to be shit due to the local yahoo’s “racing” their desert off road trucks..... we’ll have to take it.

I will let you know my results. Track will be well prepped.

Don't let your car get to close to other cars tomorrow night. I would hate for her to come down with the Corona virus.🤥

Friday the 13th for me. My friend stripped two studs on a rear wheel. What are friend for. Lol. So then I hook up the Diablo and it will not connect or find the VIN. A bunch of U codes and a check engine light. I disconnected the battery and the code went away. But the engine light is still on. I will go to the dealer tomorrow and get two new studs. Marc, I hope you have much better luck than I had tonight.

Ok! It’s official... I hate open Test &Tunes 😡. Our track rental (where we would have real track prep and control over what we’re doing) got rained out for Friday night. We have to get on the track so.... we had to settle with the open track T&T on the next night. I’m sure WHP does the community a service by getting all the yahoo’s off the streets, but water dripping street tired trucks aren’t compatible with high powered drag cars. I got one pass right off the trailer before all that started happening and managed to get down the track. It wasn’t good but gave us some data. Tune looked good but I was shifting at 6200 rpm. Come to find out that the shift light on my tach is setting low so that gave away some performance. That’s easy enough to change so went to make a second run. Too late! The track was screwed and that was that. I managed to scare everybody when it stepped out on me at the 300 ft mark and went sideways across the centerline and took out the 330 timing block. With that.... I decided I wanted to bring the car home in one piece and called it a night.

Just think how fast this will be when good track prep and everything is straightened out! I see 8’s 👍 let the good times roll!!

 

[jroyk]

Damn good! All things considered.

 

[AlleyCat]

Yep. I hate whp with a third of the drivers there having real bad attitudes. It is a large city and on tnt you have to deal with it. I took out the 1320 cone 4;months ago there. Good run for 6200 shifts. Should run an 8.7 with a good day and track prep.

That drone was impressive! The damn thing was fast. I would like to see the video it shot.

You have a German transmission from the factory.

A German designed transmission that's "built" in the USA and not just assembled in the US either.

I have a American transmission designed and built by COAN Engineering in Kokomo Indiana.

I wonder if all of it's parts are American built or some being made in China like most products out there are just like some of the parts in our cars. LOL

I can guarantee that there’s no Chinese shit coming outta there. You want to see some impressive stuff, check out their website and what they do. Plus their customer service is beyond good. Best I’ve seen ever. I can say to anybody who has a manual trans car that wants to mod and go fast.... do this!! This trans is just a huge kick in the ass. What a blast to drive!

There are some of products that are well made from China as well as some that are shit. Same as the US, Canada or any other country. We all make some good and some bad shit.

The MATS event is cancelled due to Vegas locking down all the hotels. Good news is we have another rental scheduled for the 27th at WHP and it looks like the weather will still be good. With some actual track prep we will be looking for 8’s for sure!!
