Anyone down? Wednesday evening test and tune/street legals at Pacific Raceways from 4pm-10pm. I should be there, hoping for a better launch and 13.5's. I also fixed the fuel cut problem it seems so I should be good to go

No way.
You're going to pay $35 for one run.....

I won't be there anyways. I've got a compression fracture in my lower back. Life throws curveballs eh?

306GTO · 05-19-2006, 02:20 PM

Tailbone, right? Alex told me. That sucks. Are you able to drive with that back brace?

92talon_esi · 05-19-2006, 02:32 PM

I don't know when I'll be able to drive. I'm on vicadin for a little while so I can't drive when I'm on that. I'm not allowed to lift more than 5 pounds for 2 months and I can't bend or twist so I can't go to work for the next 2 months and I can't work on cars for the next 2 months. I can probably drive with the backbrace, just I'll need to have someone put the powersteering belt back on for me so I can have powersteering because I don't think I can drive it without powersteering. I'm also not sure how it'll work with the stiff clutch but I think I'll be fine.

Edit:
It's not my tailbone, it's the lower vertebrae in my back.

Here's my xray:

You can see where it's circled how there is no longer a gap between the vertebrae anymore. The vertebrae compressed and fractured. Hence the name compression fracture.

Wow dude, that 13 sec pull in the Talon beat you up huh? Or is it all that hard driving without the power steering? Sorry to hear you're in pain but I am sure the vicodin is helping you get past that for the time being.

Anyhow, as for Pacific at the end of the month, I will pretty much assure you that the TT will not be up and running and I don't see the sense in running the Z28, it's slow as shit and we all know it. Anyhow, is there anyone planning on going?

I had an accident on a trampoline. The only good thing about this is I should be able to drive within the next couple weeks, and since I don't have a job for these 2 months, I'll be able to make it to the track frequently as long as my back can handle it. My manager told me to have a nice 2 month vacation and I'll still have a job once my back is better so that is really awesome.
