Well, i might still be going, trying a few last minute things on the car in the next day or 2, if everything goes well at Martin wednesday night, then i'll be there running the DSM stock turbo class. Anyone know if i can stay at the track? bringing my enclosed trailer, figured i'd just sleep in that know matter where I end up staying. BTW car has gone a 12.03@ 106 on the brakes. (would have been a 12.00 @ 115). this was on 93 octane still, and 150* air temps. going to be trying some intercooling stuff, and hopfully putting some 114 in it.. hoping to get an 11.8ish out of it.

No SO for me either. No weekend baby sitters available. On a more positive note, I'm planning a little party at my place in Sept.

Thanks for the offer Dave, but we usually have our own caravan. And I already have a place to stay, I book it Sept every year I guess since most here seem to be bailing, that Connie and I will just drive down by ourselves, like we have a few times before. Just means we'll make better time, and the chance waiting for a breakdown is eliminated. I was pretty close to bailing yesterday too, so we could stay home, and utilize the long weekend we both have off to FINALLY refinish our hardwood floors.. Still undecided.

Pretty sure this years gonna blow, and we'd like to sell the house next year, so the hardwoods being refinished is important. Plus it's gonna be cool this weekend, so it'd be a good time to get it out of the way...
The open house was 1/2 the shootout for me, I really don't care too much about the "car show" and having done auto X for a few years, it's boring to just watch, so that really just leaves the drag racing for me.
