The people sitting behind me just loved the sound of your motor. They couldn't believe how crisp it sounded. They must not have went to Mott's derby because they turned out being from Regent (which is only 16 miles west of Mott) lol. Tell them the owner of ASAP AUTO, Aaron Gerhts out of Powell, Wyoming, built that one. And the transmission behind it that loved every minute of my throttle stuck wide open through the consi. Slamming it from reverse to first non-stop and she held tight. Props to a great builder and great friend of mine!

Thanks Travis. I don't remember who it was on wecrash that PM'ed me and said, "you'll feel when the sub starts pulling out." I made a good hit and it felt like a marshmello . LOL So I back up across the arena and held the skinny pedal to floor one last time for a full track shot into a front fender. Launched his car about 10 feet sideways. Backed out into the middle of the arena and waved the flagman over to put out the fire I had been driving around with for a few minutes. Took my helmet off and crawled out of the car and walked over to the sidelines with a massive shit eating grin. It was a fun season.

Will do all I could really remember was the builders first name and it was built in Wyoming. Well shes definitely beat to shit. You put on one hell of a show...just wish I could've seen the Consi I would've had to laugh after seeing you fulltracking someoen and getting out with a huge grin ;D

Did the bolts come out of the floor and is the sub bent?

I haven't crawled all over it yet, but so far the sub appears to be fairly straight yet. The drivers side pulled out of the floor.

I can't plate the floors and run again around here. So I don't have much choice to either save the sub and scrap it or sell the sub and shell.
