    ECR media thread.

    I have the day off and all of you are at work so I'll get this started.

    Here's race 1....and what not to do when your ABS fails. I'll add more as they are ready.

    Eddie,

    With or without ABS Steve had the the line since he was ahead at turn-in. Ask me how I know this? Al?

    Agreed. I was attempting (<-key word) to brake and turn in with him. Under ideal conditions, I would brake and go inside if he saw me and let me by and if he stayed on line I could still check up enough to get behind him.

    Still, making a safe pass was my responsibility and I messed it up. It was clearly my fault and I'm just glad his car didn't get banged up too bad.

    Nice job. You may want to consider stiffer of solid mounts, your tranny was bouncing arround a lot. FMR

    Yeah, I noticed that too and was surprised. Engine and tranny mounts are all poly....I'll have to take a look at everything when I get it up on stands. Maybe something loosened up on me...

    Check the trans mount nut. I'm having trouble with it coming loose all the time. Even after loctite, red.
