    BentTire is again Burntire

    Well BurnTire is back in action after my multi thousand dollar carnage event

    Here is my straightened and braced housing thanks to Darryl Smith Race cars.




    Torque Box Straightening and welding from Devin and Shane at PSR





    PSR welding fireman (Ernie) with water bottle in hand.







    I had one of those PSR K-members installed for my quest to go 10.0 @ 135







    I still need to have the short subs cut out and replaced by the full length version.

    Alignment
    Reinstall the Anti roll bar

    Little bit of dial in and I should be ready to hit the track again


    Thanks to Devin, Shane, and Dan from PSR for the chassis fix, K-member and gear setup.

    Also Daryl Smith for getting the rear end housing fixed.

    So everything before was stock? Had you just finished mods or had you raced before? Im surprised you hadnt previously welded the torque boxes and axle tubes.

    No everything was the same, the battle boxes were only bolted in.
    I also went with a twin disc clutch to allow a little slip on launch.
