I am just getting home from working on my car. I smashed a dug out speed bump in a constuction zone. It tugged on my exhaust so bad it pulled my collector off my header causing a CEL. lots of late night welding, problem is now fixed. . Now I find out I need a new front tire.. One is separated. No biggie though it just means less sleep tonight. Shipping out to Cali by 1pm Friday. See you all at the track.

+1 Lets keep racing strictly on the track. It only takes one incident to cause "irrepairable damage".

Does not look like my line lock is going to get installed in time as the car is still being tuned.

I'll try to do it myself, unless anyone can help?

You don't really NEED the line lock. Worst case scenario just run without it.

Good luck everybody! Keep us updated on the results!!!

Uh, no, I really do need it, a DCT does not behave like an auto at the strip, trust me, I know what I'm doing.

If anyone can help, I would appreciate it, if not, I'll just do the best I can.

I'll install it at the damn strip if I have to.

Somehow some way it will be done, or I will just have a string of 13 second passes with nice trap speeds.

What are some of you BMW boys trapping at Famoso? Someone told me that a couple of BMW's were trapping 120 over there...is that true? I can't believe how much power those things make...unbelievable.

Hotrod...give me a call when you plan on heading to Sacramento.
