Had fun. I think Ranger Roundup went well considering all the problems we had along the way.

Tom, thanks for the extra shirt. Didn't even know it was in there until I got home. Wish I could have went back to the track, but we had to check out and didn't have a place for the dogs. And the wife was kinda done with the whole weekend. She can only handle so much when it comes to car meets lol.

Rick, I hope the trailer does ok for the return trip. Let me know when you want the hitch back.

The trailer made the trip, no issues after plating it. Rather than reinforce the frame like I was planning, I might just build another frame from scratch since I was going to build another frame under that one anyway. As far as the hitch, keep it, I'm sure you will need to use it again. There is a new thread started in the general chat for the RR 13 aftermath, designated for pics and vids...

Thanks man, still have your wiring extension too.

And I have a proposition for you. Check your PMs.


Tom, what happened to the FF13 build thread contest? That wasn't announced.
