When to the track... came home in one gear.
 
I launched hard and heard crunching, said ------- and kept going. Won the race.. the tranny is toast. That pretty much summerises tonights racing events.. BLAH. Limped home in one gear that was a long 30 mile drive.

second gear.. I cant believe I made it home. I since I took it out of gear I dont think its going back in, I depressed the clutch inside the neighbor hood and it wouldnt go back in :-)

The good news it was a shitty d15b7 tranny my best run was 15.7 tuned on a wideband, before with the Si tranny It was a 15.0 untuned.

Conclusion, D15b7 trannys suck -------. I think I was getting some pretty good MPHs and I hit a 2.3 60' which is a personal best.

I went to look at the time sheets. I cut a few 2.3's I cut a 2.2 60' on 14" street tires.

Yes this is pethetic and its turbo charged. I believe the problem was with my tranny. I was looking at my old time sheets from the last time I raced with the z6 tranny and I was cutting 2.5's and hitting 15.0. Now I cut a 2.2 and run a 16s and touch the 15s. That tranny blows I'm glad its dead.

I thought I was slow with my 16s, and I"m NA.

I figure if I can cut a 2.2 60' on a z6 tranny that should land me atleast 14.6 if my car was untuned. But I dont have any z6 tuned times to compare with so who knows what I can really hit. Not that a 14's are fast. I dont have a fast car, but I sure have fun driving it.

that reminds me of the time i went with my automatic accord, after a few runs she wouldnt come out of 1st gear, if you manually shifted to 2nd youd have 2nd (6000rpm at 55mph) man that was a long drive home (65 miles)
