    Hey Brian-

    Tech will be setting up right about 9 am on Friday. The plan is to have tech from 9 am until 11 am in the staging lanes and then move it to near the Meltdown tent for after that.

    The lanes are much more balanced this year and that should avoid the issue that we had last year, which means it should be equal passes.

    Got ten gallons of C12 fuel today (courtesy of my lovely Wife),pretty much the last of the electrical hooked up,the clutch z-bar and linkage installed and adjusted,and started getting the driver’s side header together,but ran out of time before I had to go meet a guy about a deal for a guitar.
    Back at it in the early am.

  16. Several md racers were at 41 getting their cars dialed it. The weather was perfect all three days. We got three hits in. Every thing is working as it should. We will take the next ten days to check everything out real good.

    I've been busting my butt to get my blower motor together these last few weeks. I have a glass 41 Willys it's more of a driver than anything else. But it seems like we're all thrashing on something for the meltdown.
