Default Phew! Almost didnt make track day...again

My brand new $670 RAM mac daddy clutch took a dump. The pressure plate has a retaining ring thats welded to hold it in place. Well the weld took a dump and broke. That locked the clutch up..would not disengage. Called RAM and they overnighted me another...showed up lat night at 5pm . Spent about 3 hours on my cold ass garage swapping it out. Now I have to do about half a dozen things today to get ready for sunday. But it looks like ill make it after all. Although I wont be running slicks and will be somewhat babying the new clutch(disk is somewhat broken in,PP is new) .
But I will be there

Just don't rush the job....
Don't want to be driving around and start thinking, "hmmm, now what were those extra bolts on the floor for?"
