Kevin, Lonnie, and I will all be there. I believe a few other regulars will be there as well.

I'm going to take Lonnie to school...yeah right (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I'll just be happy not to embarass myself too bad. I'm already working on excuses like I'm only on old 275's...he was spraying nitrous...my magnets are heavier than his decals.

If you feel like it's working and want me to take it for a spin I'll just take it for one run. I'll just tell grid that my car won't fire. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

At the Toledo Tour I told grid my car was "broken" and drove Sam's car because he had rain tires...Miraculasly it was fixed for Sunday without doing a damn thing to it. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I'll say one thing I was amazed me was the cold grip of the V710's-better than my victoracers, but the victoracers are tough tires and very forgiving. I was considering running victoracers next year if I can get some more runs per season it might be worth it.

Oh I just installed the random technology torque arm tonight. Pinion angle appears to be about -2.5*, but I'll probably double check it once more.

I did find a bad thing. The previous owner evidently disconnected my torque arm when he changed the rear end gears. Well both the torque arm bolts were not much more than finger tight. I cleaned the threads, added some loctite 271, and torqued them to 100 ft-lbs. the holes had elongated on the torque arm too. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) This is the same guy that had the stick to the hurst shifter really loose and ready to fall off and had my pinion gear nut really loose. It looks like I've finally gone through enough of the car that all of his mistakes are fixed.

I'm going to double check ride heights tomorrow and check and maybe adjust the toe. The car pulls slightly to the right. Caster and camber are maxed out (but I'll double check) so I'm going to toe it out a little on the left and toe it in a little on the right. The alignment feels good other than that and the car feels "correct" trying to slalom it on street tires.

I hope my hawker battery gets here in time-I should've taken your Harley battery advice-it was the same price I paid onlien for mine. I also have some 1LE fog light covers on the way to delete the front fogs.
