The car is dead. Disassembly soon. Th400 is spoken for. Trying to find a buyer for the motor. Suspension is most likely to go next. Then chasis if anyone wants the shell. Can't justify another 20k in repairs. Dominator and harness and sensors are next.

Yes this has been my experience since 2023 when the Hellcat was retired. 10% racing, 30% bitching 160% fixing stupid shit.

I've come to the conclusion that racing comes down to two people. People with fuck you money and don't care about downtime and people with brain damage. I don't have fuck you money so I've developed a case of mild retardation.

I'm trying to get out of the retardation. My plan is a white challenger, scat or hellcat. Taking my 10k rear suspension, dropping one cradle, inserting one in and going to the school of hook.

I would rather have a slow 10.0 car at the track then a fast car and not be at the track. I miss my friends, I miss racing. I really do and it weighs heavy on my mind.

People ask me all the time why I haven't turned mine up anymore.

This is why. DYO and 10.0 index allow me to compete and place with a car that I literally change pulley, tune then point & click. I've logged close to 6,000 miles since April 29th just doing 3 events. It drives to and from. Every last mile.

I hear your pain brother. It's hard to quit something we love to do.
I sold my HC because the track here in Houston shut down. I do miss her.
I didn't want to just cruise it around and some retard run into it and lose value and never recover that. The more it just sat in the garage was not good for her either.
IMHO I did have a great set up without going too crazy with it. 2.85 pulley, 1000cc injectors and 3.09 gear on 93 octane. 9.70's in cold weather and 10.0's in hot weather.
Never broke down on me. My one claim to fame was in the Finals in 10.0 class at Mopar Fest in Houston b4 track had shut down. I lost in the Finals to a faster car, but that guy won the Championship that year in 10.0 class of Mopar Fest. I still had a blast and what a great experience and fun for me. He almost let out too soon at the end as I was running him out the back door. Roxxanne ran 10.0's all day long in the heat. I never had to let up at the end. Ran straight out the back door 10.0's every time.
At the track on Friday nights just TNT for fun, I only remember getting beat a few times in all the Friday nights and years we went there.

With all that being said and all the awesome times I had with Roxxanne, her time came to an end for me.
I bought a 2025 Goldwing Tour DCT and been riding all over the country with a group and seeing the country. Having a blast doing this now.
So there's always something else that we can have fun with and enjoy.
Life isn't over yet so keep moving forward!
