(Big sigh....) Crap.

As the start of the 2010 motorsports season draws near for me, my car sits at my brothers with the trans sitting where the back seat used to be. That's correct! Still no clutch...... Puting 500 mi on it would've been no problem if I could have gotten it in this weekend. Tomorrow is wendsday and the outlook is bleak. April 25th is a drift test and tune day. No comp, no B.S., just practice. I REALLY need to hit this day, but I need to have the clutch broken in. See my quandry?....... I've told the clutch builder that I'm very short on time and think we're close to getting it figured out, but more than likely, not this weekend. Fuck. So, instead of installing a new clutch, I'm probably going to cut some weight out of the car. I'm going to cut out the innner structure from the hood and trunk, as well as the side impact beams from the doors. I'm also going to chuck up the hole saws and swiss chesse anything I can inside the car as well. There's this racing metafore, " Sweat the ounces and the pounds will follow. I figure I took 20 lbs. off the nose of the car, forward of the front wheels, with the P/S rack install so why not keep going? It's said that losing a 100 lbs of weight is like picking up 10 hp.

Kamiya Tomoe is a god. Here's proof that this person has no equal.

Goddammit they're hot. As usual, click the image for the big version. Other than that, everything else is par for course. School's going well, work sucks. Catch 'ya on the flip side, son!
