    Getting excited... my "getting ready" is a major undertaking of changing the oil & plugs and bolting the slicks on. Nothing crazy, I know, but I'm just glad I get to run it. See you guys tomorrow!

    FED is loaded and we are looking forward to the smell of smoking pie crust slicks and high octane fuel.
    That "Hard Launch Honey Weiss" sure is refreshing...

    So we've got a big fat MAYDAY.
    Some kind of serious wiring issue is preventing us from firing the car.
    If anybody is an electrical Guru,we will definitely be needing some assistance when we roll in tomorrow.
    Got everything done that we wanted to get done,then turned the key aaaaaaaaand........Nothing.

    Damn it.

    Still loading up in the morning,still bringing the car,we're just going to need a little help getting it to fire.

    Thanks guys.:(

    Within minutes it was raining so hard you couldn't see a damn thing,and the trees got all bendy.

    It's still a little wet out there,but we're on the way!
