Trying to get stuff done, we'll see how it goes. If I'm lucky and some things come together I'll make a few hits end of the season, and maybe make it out to a race or 2.

If I don't get it done this year, it's gonna be ***** to the wall next season for sure.

Assuming I fix the issue I'm having in time, the first local Auto-X for me is March 20/21

I also can't wait to take the tops out.

I will be. Haven't touched the car since racing in November. Don't plan on changing anything either. College tuition eats up my budget

I've done every mod on my list since I was pulling wheels in Sept of 2008. Money issues aside, I'd like to go out a few times. JL and Chef should help me dial in and just frankly enjoy the car.

Just gotta get back on the dyno to fine tune my nitrous setup and then I plan on enjoying the hell out of my car this year! Hoping to hit up the track at least once a month (mostly NA runs due to no cage).
