BUILD THREAD Project long time coming

Was this your first trip to Beech Bend? The track isn't the fanciest, but the grounds there and the area around Bowling Green are pretty nice. I had to work Saturday or I might have made a run down there. Looks like a blast.

Well I'm back! Made the trip from Central NY to Bowling Green KY, 780 miles one way. 12.5 hours down. Raced Friday morning, and Saturday morning, drove 12 hours back Sunday. Only issue I had was it appears my Detroit Truetrac has taken a dump. Was intermittently locking up on turns during the drive home. I felt it during the last couple of runs but wasn't sure what it was. Was thinking I was just locking the inside rear tire up.
But overall, I would consider the trip a massive success. 1740 miles total in 4 days, no repairs, raced it, and had an awesome time! Photo dump below

3/4 of a tank of 100 octane at the track, because I wanted to smell it. Can't afford to do that again 😅

Were we supposed to be looking at the truck or the MILF in that one picture?

I was wondering who was going to notice that 🤣

Hey Streetbu, what did you use for a rear spoiler on your car?

Reproduction of the M80 spoiler. Bought it about 20 years ago. Last I knew the mold was destroyed and no more were made other than the original run of 20...

Thank you. Looks like there are some used ones being sold online. Now I know what to search for!

I had heard someone else was now reproducing them, but I never looked so I can't confirm or deny that...

I knew, just have noticed him on here lately.

Yep, haven't been on here ina bit. Went back to Sysco in May and web time has been limited to easy scrolling lol. I'll update the thread as alot has happened the last few months.

Well, I found a set of mint, rust free doors and pulled the trigger on them. The issue is they are in Indiana and I'm in NY... couldn't pass them up so they are bought and paid for, and I have 3 weeks to get them. Looks like I might be driving 10 hours one way. Unless one of you happens to be headed my way and wants to make a little side $...
