Default [EVENT] Dallas raceway meet July 19, 2009

Well since Jeff's car is running now we are thinking about hitting up Dallas raceway this Sunday. It's the day right after cupcake meet. For those of you that don't know Dallas raceway is the new quarter track in the Dallas area to be specific Crandall. Last time we went we pretty much hot lapped the track. As I recall it was 20 to run and 10 or 15 to spectate. The times they open that day are 5-10pm. Should be nicer since the track will be a little cooler. The schedule and locations will be posted below. We are thinkin about pre meeting just in case for those that never been there before.

Schedule

Third gear sprag. The OEM sprag is in but he cannot full power it or it WILL shatter again lol. But rode in the car the other night and it has pulled stronger it has ever had. He will lose some time on that third gear shift but I would say mid 12 if not faster this time if he runs.

It took me almost one day of non stop work to do it on my car. Includes pulling the trans, rebuild trans, and reinstalling the trans back into the car.

lol...well it depends though...if its a sprag issue easy just change but usually if your going that deep into a trans you might s well rebuild it lol. We can put it in but if something else is messed up that will take more time. The sprag is no issue its just the surrounding parts. Thats the issue we do not know if the are worn to hell and so on.
