Hugger, we get in Friday mid/late afternoon, so pm me your number and I'll do the same. We are staying at a Hampton Inn. That guy from GB is racing his car too, he is user "Happy Camper." He is racing Friday.
We race at 2:30pm if you want to see us run. Also sent my # to you. Catch you down there!

Hehe. It's hard working two jobs and having two kids under the age of 2... Hence asking my friend Haider to pilot the car.

hope they have some more issues cause if they are running 100% with the weight of a gutted mustang and the power of a LS1 combined .......... it's not going to be so easy. Hope someone is video taping so we don't have to wait for the tv airing date. If were lucky they wont know how to tune for nos and burn it up
