snot to bad. I kind of hate the lower brace they put on there to help tie the engine to the trans. I'm having problems getting the engine high enough to get that thang out of there so I can remove the Tq convertor bolts. Hammer time

you get to prewalk the course before the Drivers meeting as many times as you can fit in. There's also a novice walk were a senior drivers walks and talks the course for anybody who wants some hints. They also pass out course maps that will help you. Also there are many DNF/DQ on the 1st runs getting use to the tracks course. Tire Rack is nice because its a road. Some of the courses are lay out on a air strip like Grissom. That's hard.
