Well, not an exciting update, but wanted to keep you guys in the loop while you enjoy YOUR Camaros (and popcorn).

The transmission was in fact mechanically locked between reverese and 2nd. No one is quite sure why. It has been sent back to Bowler and they will undoubtedly fix it. All this hurry up and wait stuff...

I just want to drive the SST and enjoy a few different sets of back tires while you guys go for some terror rides...

I think I figured out the problem...

The motor is so powerful it's breaking parts just out of fear!

No Power Tour?

I think Bruce may have met the requirements for Saintship or Knighthood on this one.

We are all pulling for you partner and I have to second the idea of the Texas mile. I just want to see the numbers it churns out.

No Power Tour?
Funny you mention that - was at Power Tour today and going back tonight, but of course no SST. But... Bowler Transmission is one of the sponsors. They will get the tranny fixed, I have no doubt. I spoke with them today. They are definitely stand up people.

Yes. Actually wanted to run the ECTA Maxton Mile, but heard the military is taking back control of the airport. Also very interested in the Silver State Classic Challenge in Nevada. It will depend on available time to do them.

Bruce,

The Texas mile moved to a different location. Rather than Goliad, it's in Beeville. Longer run out area to shut down. I've heard it a bit rough but... I would love to put Brandi on the same track some time... Maybe at the fest, maybe at a mile, maybe just cruising side by side...

Kyle and I have a plan, and it involves Florida.... We'll keep you informed... Think. Keys... Camaros, and cruising...
