lol, I don't think it's about that. the track is sticky, so anything that gets on the track, stays there. and debri getting on the track is not good for racing.

I don't care what anyone says. I don't want my car full of concrete dust.

I haven't had much time to be on C5 lately so I had no idea about this debacle with the track.

Oh I know that. If the dust discourages the racers as well as the rest, then it could be a poor showing for the Fest. I'd actually like to go to one, but neither Indianapolis nor Houston interests me as far as location for a weekend trip.

Yes my car will be on the dyno to be tweaked as stephen wasnt able to be there so he built me one for what he thought I would need. As the converter, some have done it but arent on a fourm and rather friends of people but they have a option for 1k installed through them and they said they guarantee a knock off of at least .5 but first thing is first, I need to see what wrong with mine cause I might as well replace it with a better one if broke.

Are torque converters under the 100k warranty? Maybe Jrod can fix mine too this friday.


But 13 hp gain on a quick built tune is good for me. They said we can get more so ill keep everyone posted!

Some backstory, HHR Materials is a recycling company. More specifically, they grind concrete. This is causing dust/debri to land on the speedway. RP owner has already tried to make a compromise with HHR, and they weren't having it. So we will see what happens after this meeting. The owner of RP said that if HHR doesn't change, there is no other option, but to cease business for the speedway.

you can check out the fest section if you want to read more about it. I guess fest could still be there, just no racing. lol or be moved to another track.

What happens if you don't reduce the .5? Do you get your money back? Because if that's the case, I'm down for that.

Yes they are on the 100K warranty since they are considered power train but I highly doubt that with your mods a torq converter would be covered under warranty
