In all fairness……id rather do this than 45k for a sequential and all to make it work in the 350
 
😑 well i didnt have time to install my roll bar, my race seat Didnt fit on the sparco seat bracket, and my schroth harness was the correct box, but passenger inside. So i was stuck with my stock seat, no support laterally and a 1:41.0 on south With r7’s.

If you keep the raised upright wing in track mod, add the archetype gurney piece. It makes a real difference in DF that you can feel. My anderson wing in low setting with the gurney stuck as well as no-gurney in high.

Looks nice and when on sale is less than $300.

Drove down to bowling green and dropped off the 500. Talked to Steve, the owner of SSR, for a while and he really knows his stuff and has done a lot of r&d on his cars. His 500 is going to get wild over the next year..PEEP the AJ GT3 wing

Actually you likely have an American Iron Xtreme car since it is pretty much no holds barred!
AIX currently has a 5-1 rule. That is up for possible change this year, but it's hasn't been open weight/HP for a while now.
Some are arguing for 6.5-1 while others want to go back to the unlimited days of old. No idea what's going to happen there....
Stay tuned.
 
Paid all the invoices for the build, and the mcs 3 ways the day before i went to cabo for the weekend. Last invoice is for the forgelines, cant wait to see what they look like, of course im doing something weird. I was sending @5.2 liters of democracy pix of me in my swimsuit, i dont know why he kept asking. :idontknow:

That is a 200million dollar yacht built in 2003 and sold to a swedish pharmaceutical billionaire in 2018 parked off the beach of my hotel.

now im back and the ATC trailer is in for its 6000 mile maintenance and upgrades (second battery, hydraulic over electric jack, and stuff here and there). The f-350 got a 55 gallon titan tank while i was gone thanks to @TMSBOSS recommendation. Now waiting for parts to come in and build updates.
