First post here...saying hello.

[rainmaker]

Hey all,

Been a member of the board for a bit, but this is my first post. After some account issues, I'm finally able to post here. Just thought I'd try out my account, and say hello.

Like all of you I have a love hate relationship going on with my TTA. After 3 or so years, she's about ready to run again. I just had the motor rebuilt, and soon she goes in for a tranny. As always there's a thousand little things that need to be done before she's track worthy. But one step at a time....

Anywho, just saying hello.

 

[TT/Ameasap]

As you already know.....Lots of info here....Dont be shy!

What mods do you have and what are your goals?

Err...thanks. Some days I wonder if it's worth it. Hopefully a couple 1/4 mile runs will change that.

 

[TT/Ameasap]

Looks like another stout TTA in the making!
