Thanks Charles, no major plans-going review the data we collected at the rental and discuss it with Neal Chance to see if they need to make any changes to the converter, maybe a gear change or tire change. I'd like to do a little more weight reduction.

Thanks Mike and Mark, was nice hanging out with you guys for the day and THANK YOU Marc for reminding me to warm up my rear I usually drive to the track so rear is already warmed up but I have NO DOUBT I would've went right up there with the cold rear.
Mike your car is Sick and I have no doubt that 8 sec pass will come by years end.

BTW, Kyle and I met up with Rick and went to an OutBack about 20-30 min from the track (it's kinds on the way home)
I didn't know you guys were going out, woulda been cool to all go. Next time.

Yeah we didn't leave the track until much later anyway (like 6:45 or so) so it might not've worked out anyway.
Next time for sure though.

you either drive it around some at the track or lift the rear of the car hanging the wheels and put it in drive and let the tires spin (no risk of flats this way)

Yeah I just drove it around a bit. Lifting the rear is the better way but the jack I use I wouldn't trust to lift the whole rear at once.

I was thinking about getting a flat as I drove around, hehe funny you say that.

I always jack the back of my car up and let it run for a couple min when I unload it, just a standard pratice I started doing, everything's warmed up that way, and like said, no risk of getting a flat that way too.

Poor Charles, haha this series has been tough on you this year-at least you won the opener!

I remember Barry getting a flat in one of the races, maybe last year I think.

I got flats 2 years in a row, BOTH were wed. night T+T and both were the wed. after the Etown swap meet weekend.
Needless to say I have stopped going the wed. after a swap meet.
