I have been hitting up some test and tune's at Raceway Park to try and finish my 6 licensing passes needed for my NHRA competition license. The first attempt ended early with a freak oil pump failure. The shaft snapped and it wiped out the rod bearings. I got my first "half pass" over with. I had it together ASAP and got it out the next week. I got 3 moderate passes taken care of. The fastest was 10.3@148mph. I went with Donovan this past Friday to finish the last 2 "full passes". The result was a snapped diff output shaft that wouldn't come out. Left the car there and built another diff overnight and swapped it at the track on Saturday. Squeezed in one more run before they closed up. One pass left...

I have thought about a few times over the last 2 months or seeing if you wanted to rent yours out for a few weeks.
