Relays are an easy fix and they do go out. I have extras in my car after losing one in my fuel system last year and thought it was a pump
On all factory 2015 relays and fuses still

I put a new Delco battery in ‘er today. I had no issues with the old battery…I keep a Tender Jr on it all the time. BUT, I do the same with my 2017 Jeep JK and that battery pooched on me a couple of weeks ago. Don’t want to risk it so replaced.

Bought it a tow rig. Did this about a month ago but forgot to post. 25’ Silverado 2500HD Trail Boss. First full size truck and its definitely like driving a school bus but I think I’ll appreciate the capability when I’ve got the family loaded up and 8000+ pounds of car and trailer behind me plus gear for hours on end.

I’ve always taken pride in being able to drive in and drive out of events but realize 6+ hours away from home that it’s probably not the smartest idea.

Here is a TV clip from yesterday (skip the part about the green E motorcycle). At 1:55 you will see my car on the starting line with the hood, trunk and door open. It was 95 deg and they had a shutdown so I got out and took off the racing gear and try to keep me and the car cool. The M6 is in it again at 2:45 in the pits. At 3:36 I am on the starting line for 1sec! :ROFLMAO:

The people who run these events are really great, and Joe who is interviewed is truly a great guy. And he, like many of the organizers, doesn't even race. The do it for our enjoyment!!!! I think anyone who doesn't do this at least once is nuts.

That bad part having a faster then stock car is the possibility of breakage and carry tires and tools with you. I raced 5 hours away when mine was stock driving on nitto 20" drag radials

The last week I almost got it ready to race, decided against it, now bringing it back to street. Something was whispering to me last Friday night to NOT race. After looking at everything close and putting things back this morning two horrible things appeared and both would have been expensive and one a potentially dangerous failure!

First I have seen this movie before. I cannot get happy with the lowering springs I installed a couple of months ago. Well they will be for sale soon. The right rear axle is showing signs of being very unhappy! I do not give a damn how many people say it works, their car survives it and the new damn Redeye axles do not have problems with their axle boots, EVEN THE NEW AXLE BOOTS DO NOT LIKE BEING LOWERED!

Grease is beginning to seep! Damn it. If I would have tracked this at BIR Saturday we would have had at least one side fail, period. This is a result of a few hundred street miles.

The other thing discovered is that the inside edges of my street front tires have decided time was up recently. In a serious looking way. They did not do this before the new springs were installed. They look so bad I could have developed a problem at very high speeds last Saturday with one of the fronts. It would have been wearing nearly new rubber, but I was going to drive it 120 miles to the track. Not pretty to even think about. I did check the alignment settings and the front was about the same as before, so that little problem will take a bit more head scratching.

I know after we install the OEM springs (by the absolute correct tech), the alignment will be on the nuts. I am going to join him and we are going to align it with his machine and my direction of tab placement on the AAD pieces. My new front Pilot Sport 4s tires will like life.
