Track times

I went to the opening test n tune at the local track here, was packed got to make 3 runs in 5 hours... first run went 16.8, second run went 16.3, and the third I missed second and went 17.3, not too bad considering the motor had 218k on it haha, popped on the way home man what a sick sound, reminds me of someone pouring gravel into a high speed fan, so now I can get on with the 88 swap.

yeah! it ran perfect at the track, no smoke, no over-heating, no missing no NOTHING. Then like 4 minutes from my house, took off from a stop sign real easy and when I let the clutch out into second and rested my foot on the gas it came apart, I was like oh **** my clutch just fell apart (sounded like it came from transmission), then I was like oh no wait that was the motor... damn! lol
