I am working on my pitting skills as well. I promise I wont let anyone run out of fuel this time. "Shut up and Drive, I will tell you when to pit." Foot in mouth.
Chaderick, agree 100%. I got flamed by the one person you are talking about for telling someone to come race at the biggie. Glad the 'rules' for this race are what I recommended in those posts. Thanks Wild Bill for the 'lets get people here to race' rules for this years Biggie! I was hoping the Serpent car would be out by now, so I may have to get another DM1. I for sure want to have a car ready to go for the the nat's in Houston.
Looks Like I will be pit bitch for everyone this race.

Hey, just wrangled the pinions off a DM-1 clutch bell with some pliers, and in the process put some tiny knicks in some of the high-gear pinion teeth. Nothing major, but they're there. Will this chew up the 2-speed? With an offroader I probably wouldn't worry too much - but with this I REALLY don't want to fry another 2-speed..

You should definitely buy a pinion wrench.

If you guys weren't so far away, I would love to hit your track a couple of times to get ready for the December race in Puerto Rico and race with you as well as Mike and JoJo again. Those two guys were a handful for me in Joliet last year and I was lucky to finish in front of them in the GT Open mains.
