$12000. thats what i found out my new 7at transmission and radiator cost when it went out on me 2 saturdays ago. suspected it was the torque converter and luckily got approved through warranty for a new 1 on monday. waited 4 long days and it finally came in friday 1pm and my master tech was able to get it in the car so i could leave for sebring. i spent the whole week feeling like i would not make it. needless to say i was a total mess on the track the whole weekend between a new trans, new coils, new track, etc. no excuses but my head just wasnt in the game.

it was still an amazing weekend with a bunch of old and new friends. got to meet mike bonnani and alan crocket - our head instructors, john "nads" naderi with his running commentary, ryan gates with his sick evo, catesby and will with their quick gt-rs, nero and wes from titan and the list just goes on.

anyway on to the pics, they're pretty random as i just snapped em whenever i remembered/felt like it...

It looks like it was a good time, for those that were participating and those that were attending.

Thanks for sharing Woady, its definitely nice to see images of a different kind of event, other then shows.

 

nice pictures woady, 12000$ :O for a tranny woooow, what was wrong with the tranny?

 

Nice pics and looks really fun, I especially love the 240 with the push broom hood stand!!!!!

 

Geez $12k, thank goodness it covered under warranty.

Cool pics, awesome rides. Looks like fun times.

 

great pics, seems like a great weekend!

 

thanks everyone. new 7at trans is $11300 before any labor. also required a new radiator due to all the shavings. from their best guess, they think the torque converter came apart.
