We are going to try to go, it all depends on if
Mark gets done in time. He needs a few more
passes before Pinks next weekend.

I'm waiting on Mark to give me the word.
The guys in our neighborhood are supposed to be
at our house by 315. After gas and a quick car
wash, we should be on the road by 415-430.

Mark gave the word we should be leaving by 4-430.
He is trying to finish putting Fech's tranny in.

The c6 wasn't running good and neither was I. I couldn't figure out why the clutch was grabbing so hard and I would bog so bad. I spoke with the owner of that Z and he said they were planning on being on Pinks! the next week. Hopefully they can get something figure out.

Is this the same Z06 that I ran on my last run? From a 14. to a 12..
That run, there was a different driver and a new bottle.

Hell, all I could do was spin off the line. Most everyone I talked to
was having the same problems.
