    Saturday (3/29) T&T at Tri-State

    According to my weather rock, Saturday looks like it might actually be a decent day, Sunday looks iffy for the Bracketeers.....

    Anyone going down to break some parts? If there are enough willing subjects I have some testing and tuning to do of my own!

    Who's in? (Might as well get on the Dozen list early!)
    I can "Visualize Whirrled Peas" - thanks for the ride Vinny, it was much too short!

    I'll be there.... Drove the car a couple of nights ago and it feels to
    be in shape to make some passes... I'll have my fingers crossed for breakin'
    in the 11's but it'll depend on traction...

    That should be good enough to get me on the Dozen for a week or two...


    How much longer til' your car is done fst 5pto?
    What about 935.0calypso? Is his car done yet?
    You guys are gonna be whippin' up on the red car this year, huh....?



    It may be wishful thinkin' on my part but if I can manage a mid 1.6 short time.... I think 11.90's are obtainable....

    You think they got the track cleaned up by now? I'd call first to be sure.

    Water never actually made it to the track... just the staging lanes/pit area. Should be good to go! E2O on the other hand... probably won't bew worth a crap for a month or so.

    I think I'll come down, weather permitting.

    I'd like to but it looks like we have an outing planned at Jungle Jims with one of Rachel's college friends and her husband. Between trying to get this stupid basement finished and other plans - I hope I get to hit the track this year!

    Hey Curt I hope you make the 11's but you still wont get the wheels up buddy. You need some sensa trac shocks in the rear to do that not all that fancy high dollar stuff that you have back there.

    I dont know, he called me the other night and said his car feels faster than last year. So if thats the case the extra power he has will make up for the driving skills. But he still wont pull the front wheels. He needs some sensa trac shocks in the rear from Advance auto parts to do that.

    I would think sometime this year it would pull the wheels but maybe it's too big of a pooch to do it...

    I don't have all the fancy headwork and camshafts like you guys!



    I guess Edgewater is open 12-5 tomorrow so I'll be there...
    No better time than the present to go work on my driving skills......

    Perhaps I'll get to the track about 2 hours early and build an igloo
    on the intake with ice bags and pray it makes up for my poor driving
    skills.... LOL!
