Awesome pass brother!!! That 2.3 is getting it done for sure!!
Nice run man!
Keep your eye out for a white '06 with silver stripes, running a turbo'd V6. Guys name is Bob and he's probably hanging out with the CJ's crowd. You two would be a close race, provided he's got the new converter figured out.

I watched your car last year at the NMRA Nationals and was very impressed, look forward to checking it out later today. Great Job!

Nice!
Your mph is pretty impressive for a 4 banger!
Reaction time, not so much
I didn't even look at the tree yesterday beside staging. This is 4/10 Pro Tree. When I see the tree I start getting ready, whack the throttle, and launch based on boost gauge. No reason to rush when you are testing, wait until I'm on a 5/10th sportsman tree on Sunday where it matters

Very nice run, Bob!!!
Oh yeah, that's getting it done!
Doesn't look like your carnage from last week set you back any.

We're not fast racers, we're more what's known as half fast racers.
Just blew up my transmission on the first pass today right off the clutch drop. It's junk.

Really sorry to hear that Bob. Are you thinking there might have been some undetected damage from the drive shaft problem last week?
Don't suppose there's any kind of warranty on those G-Force transmissions?

That truly sucks. Do you think it is terminal, Or can you rebuild? I know that is not a cheap prospect either way.

Obviously in hindsight, we missed something from last week.
Of course no warranty. In fact Leonard was here this weekend racing.
It's junk, 1st gear is totally gone and it locks up randomly. I doubt there is anything that can be saved.

Too bad on the tranny. Once you get it fixed, I see high 10's in your future. Great job making that kind of power out of a 2300.

The solution to my breakage ....
I put it in over the weekend and been driving it a bit this week. Should be ready for NMRA Norwalk when I get home.
Don't ask how much Mike I've never owned a complete new transmission so I'm enjoying the new tranny smell

Hey, hey, hey Bob. You can't leave me hanging like that. I keep looking at one of these two from TMS:
Both utilize the A5 gearset and don't require a core.TMS X series T5 Ford transmissionXT587-93 This is our X series RACE T5 rated at 600 Hp / 650 lbs trq. It features 2.92 ratio with .73 overdrive, race lug sliders , G force cluster gear retainer plate, steel bearing retainer and high speed balanced mainshaft.This is for race only . $2,295 ea
TMS XR series T5 Ford transmissionXRT587-93 This is our XR series STREET T5 transmission rated at 600 Hp / 600 lbs trq. It features 2.94 ratio with .73 overdrive, race cut syncros, G force cluster gear retainer plate, steel bearing retainer and high speed balanced mainshaft. $1,995 ea
I'm sure you'll baby that new transmission, right?

We're not fast racers, we're more what's known as half fast racers.
It's a brand new G Force, I mean no core parts, all new (don't ask how much )
I had considered going with Astro / Astro parts but they are out of gear sets with a mid June at best delivery date. Can;t wait that long I would miss NMRA Norwalk.
The info you pasted shows it as G Force clusters. That either seems like a really good deal or something "up". Based on the price of the G Force Gear set plus main shaft (at discount prices) to get to that power level. Add in the cluster support, bearing retainer, and in particular the road race 5th, I can'y see how they do it. G Force with stock overdrive ends up a .59 OD, When I did my first one the road race 5th was like a $300.00 upgrade. I suspect you know the price of all the bearings, blockers, synchro's, etc ... lots of value there if it's as advertised.
I have been street driving it this week. I've got to go back out of town for a few weeks, so this week I'm just driving and it will sit two weeks then let the beatings commence. After my carnage the last few weeks, I am quite happy to put it in the garage running and driving
