Default Grattan Regional race

Three spins, two tank slappers, and one popped gear and you have the results below.

Shoot with GoProHD 720 wide....

I was full throttle for about a second over the bump in the turn when it happened. Im pretty sure it was my fault. I think that i didnt get it fully engaged over the bump prior.

Yes, Im still running T-3 and the more T-3 cars on track would be nice. Sucks being the only one at regional races.

I would build one to run ITR

I don't have a budget that would allow me to run T3 competitively

I run T-3 on a budget myself and want to make myself faster before the car. As of right now i dont have the aftermarket LSD nor the Shocks. Other than safty i have the exhaust, ecu flash, hawk pads, used slicks and filter. With that i still came within 8secs of class lap record being my first time at Grattan and would have been closer on Sunday if it were not for me being stuck on street tires. I don t think it takes much to be at least mid pack.

To save money I hook up my chaserace hitch, throw on my autocross trailer with slicks, tent and tools and Drive to the track... race to my heart's content, and then drive home in it.
If I wreck to where i cant drive it home i have a towing plan i pay extra for just in case.

Also for anyone who wants to try T-3 before they spend the money for their own car... My car will be up for rent for track days and also Regional/National races through Racelabz starting next month. (the Diff will be installed by then also)
