Drag racing is an expensive hobby.

As I mentioned week and a half ago, the F250 tranny let go when we went to pick up our enclosed trailor from Outlaw85 (Josh).

Turns out the total bill is gonna be around $3300.

The torque converter exploded into the trans and chewed up a few gears. All without a single drop of fluid hitting the pavement.
The price includes new brakes for the front.

We need to start winning some races to pay for this stuff.
