No excuses, there are quite a few Texans (including me) here in Memphis right now. If you guys want these badass events to continue, get off your *** and show up!

I was told there are about 100 LSX entries already, with more showing up tomorrow. There are some WICKED cars here, anyone on the fence about spectating or racing tomorrow needs to show up. The vendor's alley is HUGE and full of cool parts also, good show so far.

Hell I have the weekend off. I may try to drive down and check everything out. The new shop car is still a work in progress, but that is no excuse for not showing my support.

I agree 100% with Tony, everyone needs to be there. These events are great experiences and they need support to continue. If anyone is within driving distance, get going, you won't regret it!

Tony, you know I'd be there if I wasn't halfway around the world right now! Kyle and I will both be there next year, cars in tow.

Thanks! Hopefully we got the front suspension straightened back out enough to run the car today. We drove the 30 mile shootout but pulled out after the first run as the steering was spooky. Apparently we hurt more than the oil pan and thrust bearing on that run the other day. Bob
