It's been a crazy coupla weeks since my last post. I'd been driving the drifter to put some miles on the clutch and had the same issue with the brakes I'd had in Mn happen on the way to work. Just in the middle of the intersection. The issue being the rear brakes dont release cleanly. By the time i figured out what was going on, the car stumbled and stalled in the middle of a VERY busy intersection. I had to restart the car and use the motors massive amounts of torque to force the car out of harms way, all this against draging rear brakes. Needless to say, the severe load killed my brand new killer clutch, I'd installed three weeks earlier. So, not only have i been unable to figure what's going on, but I just dropped $400+ on a new clutch. THE THRID ONE THIS YEAR!!! My buddy and I can do this operation in our sleep. To copletly R&R the clutch(pull trans-replace flywheel wear surface/clutch-reinstall) took all of three hours! I'm tired of doing this as is he!
Speedrift 16 was supposed to happen tomorrow, but got cancelled due to low registration. This really bummed me out. I'd been looking forward to this for a while. A couple of the other guys were talking about an underground event in some unused parking lot, which I'd of loved to go to, but wasn't able to find out where. I'm begining to think maybe i need to try and find a place of my own where I can do some drift practice of my own. Something local. At least i have Drift Indy round 4 to look forward to next weekend!
I started class thursday night. I'm taking a basic industrial saftey class, practicle electricity, and combination welding. I'm going for a C/A for Wind Generator Technician. Two of the classes will be easy, but the practical elec class is gonna take some work.
