BECAUSE I didn't need the rack UNTIL recently. It's not a difficult process unless you get something you thought was good, but is really bad. I would've just not even registered for DDay and bought a new rack so that I wouldn't have to get the car aligned TWICE. Believe me, I know I made a mistake. You get what you pay for. It sucks. And anyway, I wouldn't be able to drive in DDayII without a working rack either way.

Regina, I wasn't directing the statement specifically at you, it just seems like everyone's car is in the shop getting shit done to it. Don't you guys drive your cars, or are they in the shop most of the time?

If no one's car is ready that just means more track time for me.

My car is daily driven and I'll be driving it WITHOUT powersteering until I can get the new rack. I can't drive in DDayII because now with the leak my car will not pass tech. If i get the new rack this week it will be installed with yet ANOTHER alignment and I will be at DDayII. If not, I guess my LSD that we also installed will have to be tried out at another event, unfortunately.

its becuase we like to be different..some have way too many magnetic signs on their cars..some like to have bling some right shit on there cars..we are all ricers if you think about it..we are preparing to drive around in a circle to see who makes the most "Controlled" burn outs...so some of us like to go out there and put shit on out cars just for show..(pink wheels) (no bumper) ("im rick james bitch") its all about having fun...and then their are the people that are trying to get their cars ready for the physical strains...

^ Yeah I know this but why wait till the last minute? Go out like your car is now and then afterwords work on it and get it ready for the next event as far as performance and looks. This idea of course excludes preparing you car for, as you put it, "the physical strains" which I firmly believe should be done.
