We had Race Pack data issues til the last qualifying pass on Saturday. We were no real threat in Top Sportsman, but we garnered Best Appearing Car though.

Not much going on with Pumpkin right now, waiting for a replacement set of axels to show up from DSS. Frank and the crew from DSS are the best when it comes to service.

My high school had a little car show to go with the 100 year grad re-union. The 70's after party had all the usual suspects there. What a hoot.

Pumpkin is looking good as usual...

My school did a 100 yr reunion a few years ago and it was a total blast...

I know you had fun...

Look, a bright new shinny set of axles are in now from DSS for Pumpkin.

Just waiting for a set of trush washers to show up from GM.

PQ · 06-13-2012, 10:41 PM

I'd install them anyway.

But do you need the washers on aftermarket axles? I would guess so. The hub is still the same.

Merc · 06-13-2012, 10:45 PM

It's a swap from DSS level 5 to level 4 axels, the latest technolgy from DSS best suited for Pumpkin.

Big thanks to Frank and the DSS crew.

Swapping mid next week just before we take off on the Peach City Beach Cruise. Lot's of time for the washers to arrive before I do the swap.

Thrush washers are in at my friendly local GM parts department.

Weather is sucking big time up here in our neck of the woods.:( We were going to run the new car this weekend, but Saturday and Sunday are going to be a wash out for us. Looks like will have to settle for a couple of burn outs and a couple short launchs on the new car shakedown process tomorrow.:( Sucks we really wanted a few full out pass's before the Outlaw Pro-mod race in early July.

Cool! There are a few of us up here with road course experience, who are just itching to get out on that track for a day. Keep us posted Bud.
