Hey Greg,

It is sad that you can't make it again Stinky was ready to have a good competition with you. You should atleast show up since you have planned to be at the track anyways. The baddest thing is, I got 16 spare bolts for the propellorshaft along with my car. If you let me know sooner, I can just give them to you.

Why did the bolts broke off ? You did it on purpose or you got a secret 700hp motor to snap off all the bolts j/k

Maybe we'll meet up next year and I will drive against you
The front half of the driveshaft needed to be replaced too. The part is only available as part of the propeller shaft assembly. I kind of wanted to go, even just to spectate. In the end, it was better for me to return back and get to work. Every day i was away is another day i wasnt making money. It was hard to justify staying out longer with no return on investment. (media coverage)

I appreciate your gesture on the bolts greatly though. You guys should come into the US for some other Time Attacks besides the finals. We are doing about 6 time attacks a year or so currently

Honestly, dont know what broke the bolts. the car has seen alot of track time this year. I know on a few occations on down shifts the clutch had grabbed so hard its barked the rear tires even. Im sure that didnt help anything. Ive got all winter now to work on the car i suppose!

Regards,

Greg

ah Greg,

I do have the spare driveshafts as well. Oh well, it's too late anyways, maybe next time.

I thought about going to the east to attend some of the events but I already have 2 sponsored S2000s who's running for AJR already and I think they are doing top 3 in the Redline Time attack and Champion of Ponoco Events 06/07 so since they were doing so well, what's the point to have me and my car being there ? I don't feel like competing against my own team

At least I have met you at SEMA and we had a great talk. Nice to see you tho

Thumbs up

Wow! Full throttle through bus-stop!!

Hey Kel & Tim, I know you run the 4.44 final drive, would a 4.57 or 4.77 final drive help get those times down?
