Just hated having to change tires at Drivers Education events. Things worked out to allow usage of a trailer (which presented whole new issues-changing tires may not have been so bad). Anyway, captured images of the first time the Queen sat on her new throne. Next up, 3Balls DE event.:peelout: Looking forward to filling that need 4 speed.

Excellent. We'll see you at MidO.

It is nice to trailer it but driving to/from the event has its pluses as well. I've done both and at this point I'm back to driving the car down and changing brakes & wheels at the track. When my DD lease is up next year I think I want to get another truck. We'll see what happens then. I might dump the GTO and get a more dedicated track car.

BTW.. when I bought the GTO I said that I was going to leave it relatively stock and show up at the track and drive. I was sick of wrenching at the track as well. I think that lasted about 2 events before I couldn't stand driving on street rubber and ended up with another set of wheels and brake pads.

I have driven to all of my DE events and autocross events for 6 years. It's about time to arrive and drive just about in my opinion. I'm tired of packing and unpacking the car. So unless the event is in my backyard, I'm pulling it. I really dislike having to do much wrenching at the track if I don't have to, would rather have that time as play time. I've wrenched at the track enough over the years with the dragbike, kart, and this car. Save that crap for the shop if it can be avoided.

N e way.....3Balls baby!!! Rain or shine!
