    All the crap is gathered and ready to load. Made one last check of the tow vehicle fluids and tire pressures. Trailer is all checked out. Race car is good to go. One last street dyno to make sure. Two giant black marks going up the street. All is well. See y’all tomorrow.

    Can't take it any more, wouldn't sleep good anyway, so leaving around 9 pm after a meeting I gotta to go to.
    That should put us in Rochelle about 12 midnight. I will have to have a couple of beers to wind down so if your still thirsty around then stop in. There might be a few racers there already.

    Buttoned up fresh front brakes, clean oil and what not today on my daily driver so I can’t come in hot Saturday morning. Besides my close friend I drug with me last year I’ll have my stepfather in tow this year as well. He use to spectate at U.S.30 races almost every event up until it closed down. He hasn’t seen a drag race since. He’s 78 I hope the action that comes out of all this smack talk doesn’t give him a heart attack. At best maybe seeing the SaltShaker will put hair back on his head.

    We’ll make it....I’ll be considerably lighter when we get there,too.....this has not been pretty tonight.
    Guess that’ll teach me not to buy a soggy paper bag half full of what look like shrimp from some guy on a ten speed eating his scabs in the 7-11 parking lot...?
