Well, before I do the 347 build in Jan, I wanted to make sure I got the shimmy out of my front suspension. I know the popular thing now is tubular A arms but mine is a street car and I'd heard good things about the improvements in steering granted by the FMS arms, good price too. I decided to get the Granatelli coil over kit while I was at it. I had to remove the top cap on my Tokico 5 way struts to get it to fit, but I was glad to discover this was not in fact the top seal. Anyway, everything fit real nice..also picked up a 24V cordless impact drill/wrench at Pep boys on sale for $85. Goes up to 170'lbs of torque and made things go a lot quicker on the ball joints. Nothing earth shattering here, just glad to get back under the car after a long time of waiting...

I have not been, but I know quite a few who have...the raceway in G-ville is supposed to be top notch, they host some big events there..

I went to the gator nationals there a few years ago before they resurfaced the track which it's supposed to be better now. The top fuel cars were running low 3 sec's all day and not to many people seemed to have traction problems.

one of the driver's side bushings was cracked and the ball joint had some play...
