10000. have 5200# axles. Although when I went to take delivery at factory, they had the smaller axles on it and had to take it back and swap them out. Glad I caught that it only had 5 lug wheels and not 6 before leaving.

Nice setup!

Nice trailer. I had a track buddy that used to bring his car to the track in a very similar set-up. Even though I didn't have a trailer, I loved using his....shade, protection from the wind, rain......every tool I ever needed....

Latest mod:
Just put this on friday at the track between sessions. Gives a noticeably firmer pedal. Not a huge change, but noticeable. Highly recommend it.

Thanks for the heads up!

HKYStormFront · 06-05-2016, 08:22 PM

Dustin got one of those for his 350 and yeah, I could feel a difference after. Just makes the brake pedal feel more "solid" overall.

I could sell a couple of cars to come up with the cash. Unfortunately, it's just not practical to daily drive a racecar

Best wishes for your future endeavors. Please stick around and share them with the forum

Sold the car and trailer last weekend. Was kind of sad, but also kind of nice to see the new owner thrashing it at Road Atlanta for ZCON today.

Life moves on. Things come and go.

You still doing powder coating?

No, I retired that business a bit more than a year ago. When I was promoted to Captain at Delta, I started to cut it back, but realized I had to be either in business and committed to it, or not. Had to start it due to the pay cuts after 9/11 and Delta's bankrupcy, but have fully recovered from that now,and then some. For about 10 years I worked 28-30 days per month between both jobs.

You do what you have to do to pay for your hobbies.

You should hook up with Onzedge. He flies Delta about twice a week.

Good luck to you with your future plans.

Don't be a stranger either.
