Got the ranger together for this past Saturday. Transmission worked great! Now I need to get used to the truck again and figure what rpm I can launch at. Got a 4th place in the 38" tire class with a 6.68 second pass. THe part that sucked was the 3rd place winner was a friend of mine that I let drive my truck and he beat me by .2 seconds. That's right 2 tenths of a second off! How conistant is that? For my 44" class, I hit a bump in the track and went airborn. The truck went high enough that when I landed it ripped the bump stop off the frame and turned my steering rack into a sort of S shape. It's all good though because I've been thinking of going full hydro on the steering and have all the parts anyways. Seems like the right time. No vids though, forgot the camera in a last minute rush to finish the truck. Considering I got the tranny back at 3:30pm Friday, and put the starter in Saturday morning, filled the tranny with fluid then left for the race at 10am.
