Check this out, this was me a few years ago in the Pure Stock 4 Cyl's in my trusty old 85 200SX (the black car). No I didn't end up hitting the wall, actually straigtened it back out, jammed it in 1st, and kept on rolling... :lol:

I think my internet is too slow to see that picture.. any body else see it? The one needs permission though. Just IM it to me and I'll put it up here.

I didnt even know they had stuff like that. Man that would be fun. It was circle track stuff right?

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.

Yeah, it was a circle track race, the guy in front of me overheated and he didn't have his overflow tube running up to the windshield, so he sprayed water all over the track, and he backed off, and by the time I did, I was in the water. Racing tires, water, and driving on the edge don't mix well... :)

It should work if you click on the link though... I don't have AIM on this computer, we just moved last weekend and I don't have internet up yet at home, so I have to use my Mom and Dad's computer. Pissed me off today, they told me I can't get DSL where I'm living now (out in the country), even though I'm only about 2 miles from the C/O. It's gonna suck going from cable to dial-up, it was gonna be bad enough going from cable to DSL, now this really sucks... <_<

Check out the link below in my sig, (http://storm.prohosting.com/~likness), that's my page for the race car. If you haven't ever been to a local short track, you really should go, it's a blast. There's a lot of tracks around VA, I'm sure there's one close by you. OCS is only about 15 minutes from where I live, and South Boston Speedway is about 45 min-1 hour. Even if you're not a NASCAR fan, the local short tracks are a whole different world. I don't really like NASCAR, but I love short track racing...
