Haha... Sorry I missed your last. In the video, while you were waiting in line you mentioned the spare tire in your trunk. Looking good!

Finally broke something on track...appears to be a left axle...not bad for 3 years of heavy track use. Video from the weekend, including night runs at Sebring up soon.

And this weekend I'll install the Buddy Club Front Lower Control Arms, Raceseng Front Camber Plates and Verus Throttle Pedal Spacer before dropping her off at Speed Syndicate for Chris Valle to work his corner balancing and alignment magic!
