I read somewhere that GM is including carbon fiber clutches in the 3-4 drum...does anyone know any truth to this?

Make sure you let us know how it runs. And you better have pics, videos, signed proof, etc, to back up the claims

Plus you don't have to wait in line for hours and only get 2 passes.

I might have a change of plans. My wife informs me she has something going on for Sat morning. I may go to Hallsville on Fir night for Midnight Madness. Its supposed to be a fast track. Anyone in East Texas want to be my video man? I'll bring a camera if someone films.

Actually, last time I went to Ennis, they kicked me off the track. I swore that I'd never go back.
