All is well! Friday I flew down to Daytona International Speedway to race new Dodge SRT car at the SRT Track Experience. Had an AWESOME weekend! Check out the link below
Thanks!

All the cars had Michigan tag as Chrysler supplied over 30 SRT Chargers, 300s, & Challengers for me and 37 other people to abuse. The 1st thing they told us is their not your tires, it’s not your gas, and it’s not your car! So drive it like you stole it! It was too cool! Each car had two cameras, one at the driver and one on the road. In about 4 weeks they will send me a CD.
Thanks!

It came standard with my SRT Challenger. I’m not sure if Ford or GM offer anything like it but they should!

Where did you get the paint for the drums? Also you are doing excellent work.

Ryan,

I have yet to get the right drums, they should come in next week. I will use Eastwood cast iron high temp paint on the drums. I used Eastwooh spray gray on the center of the rear as it matched the best!
Thank you!

With some help from my brother, we set up the new ring & pinion. I also duplicated all the inspection markings I noted before sand blasting the housing. I hope to install it Sunday. I’m looking forward to seeing it on all four again.
