Re: JP1738's Stocker and S/G car
That last stretch of I-85 coming home from Valdosta really did a number on my car. Looks like it was rough enough to blow both front shocks out :/
Guess this is what you get when you race a really old car with stock components. I'll throw this in the same broken parts bin as the rear wheel cylinders that blew out on the first test drive.

Re: JP1738's Stocker and S/G car
Finally showed my old bracket car some love last weekend. Bolted some small tires on it for a little Thursday night TnT and grudge, then the big tires for some bracket action and throttle stop testing. Getting geared up for the Charlotte 4-wide where I'll be running Stock and SST!
Shoutout to Marion Stephenson for selling me some used Phoenix 14.5x32 radial construction big tires off his Comp car, I think the my car really likes them.

Re: JP1738's Stocker and S/G car
Out with more old, in with more new! The front shocks on my wagon had completely blown out and were leaking all over the place. I snagged some new 90/10s off the internet and tossed them in the car last night before the next D2 double this weekend in Reynolds, Ga.

Re: JP1738's Stocker and S/G car
On another note, managed to collect some coin at the first SGAS race of the season scoring a runner-up finish to the great Jim Perry at Carolina Dragway last weekend. Driver was on it most of the day including the final, but a .013 pick up to 60ft was my demise as I couldn't get back to the good and lost a double breakout 6.298 to a 6.299. Good race and a nice payday, basically covering all the upgrades I did to the car over the winter. If you live down south and have at least one testicle, (outside of Lauren Freer and Michelle Lisenby, y'all are cool of course) come run one of these SGAS races! They are a great time and deserving of a bigger spotlight!
