You made it all the way to SoCal and didn't even send me a PM?
Congrats on the trophy. Sucks that you drove all that way for a ghost of a show though!

My very first pass down the 1/8 mile strip was 9.3 with a 1.9 60 foot time. All season tires, bone stock 2.8 in back, horrible dampers all around, loose nut behind the wheel, etc. I was pleased, it was just a tick faster than I expected.

I booked truck transport to Florida today, so it's pretty much official that the Fiero will be at the Florida $2009 challenge:

Why not copy the update, and post it here? It's really annoying to just be given links to other sites, I don't even click them, even though I'm interested in the update. Just too much of a pain, and you have to scroll through hundreds of posts from people you don't know while they say "good job" and "Has it caught fire yet?"

The time it took you to type that message was longer than it takes to click the link and see that my post is the big huge one full of updates at the very top of the page. I'm also trying to increase visibility over at the GRM forum, as they're the sponsor/creator/host of the event and I figure I can do my part by throwing some clicks their way.I don't want multiple threads going, so I won't be documenting much over here on my build, but thought you guys might be interested in the Fiero build.

So the Fiero is sitting at the transporter in Orlando. Does anybody live near Orlando that can help me get it out of storage? My flight lands just a couple hours after their office closes. I'll make it worth your while!

Re: My Grassroots Motorsports $2009 build
Any of you Florida folks going to come out to the $2009 in Gainesville? This Fiero will only be on that corner of the country once, so if you want to check it out (and a bunch of other really cool cars at the Challenge), Friday and Saturday is your chance!

Re: My Grassroots Motorsports $2009 build
I planned for this for 3 months, and 3 weeks ago my tranny screws up. I wanted to take the fiero over there. Oh well.
Good luck though. RFT will be rooting for you.
