OK.. She's back home and I took her out for a little abuse of the new rear end parts.

I have to tell you guys, I was a little shocked at the difference the gearing change made.

I took her out and just nailed it, when she hit second gear, the rear end broke loose and she started sideways.. I was a little shocked to say the least. Guess it's time for some new sticky tires. :lol:

Doug, good to hear you got the Monte going!! Fun ain't it!! Mike took me inside his motor home at E-ville, and said, here's something from Doug for you. Then he handed me a box of scotty kleenex's, yes, I almost cried, then I read the note. Thankyou Doug for thinking of me, I know if Mike and Mike would not have been standing there, I would have used those Scotties!! :cry: I'm so looking forward to meeting you. Thankyou bud, it meant a lot to me! :wink: :D 8)
If you think it's exciting now, wait till we start it.
