Well... my day was short lived. Broke the driveshaft on a normal 2-3 shift.

I cannot catch a break with this damned thing.

We'll get it going and off to VIR in a few weeks.

SUCKS!!!!!!

That's why I now have a pit cart!
Loaded with spare:
Drive shaft
Half shafts
Hubs
Calipers
Rotors
Pads
Alternator
Fuel pump
Belts
Hoses
ect ect ect

Cheap insurance compared to going home early and pissing away travel/entry fee $$$

I have a whole lot of spares and can fix pretty much anything on this car at the track... except the driveshaft. Of course the 1 thing I don't have is what breaks.

just got off the phone with Hawk, they do not have rears yet. I think using just the fronts would upset the balance of the car.
