Default Big Thanks to Tommy of Anger Management!!!!

Yesterday at the Challenge as they called the EFI cars to the lanes for the second time shot, I hopped in my car to head out..................................... ..................and nothing when I turn the key!

Thinking, since I had the hatch open and the radio on, the battery must be dead I ask around if anybody has a jump box. Tommy from angermanagementracing.com steps up and gives me a hand. The jump box did nothing. Next he bypasses the key and the car turns over but will not start. His diagnosis was that the security system is starting to fail. Told me how to bypass the VATS and that I should do it as soon as possible. In the mean time wait 4 minutes and the computer should reset and try starting it again. I waited 5 minutes and she started like nothing was wrong!!!

Missed the time shot but was able to make all my first round races.

Can't thank you enough Tommy! I really had no idea what was wrong with my Vette.

Thanks again.
