If anybody has an opening for 2 at a hotel room, my girl and I could fill the spot. I will be there Saturday and stay saturday night.
I will cover it.. I just need to know before 6am Saturday morning since we are leaving around 8.

I know last year at shootout a lot of people had people pay for rooms and back out or not pay etc..

I don't need to stay... But if I was helping a fellow tech member!

What I hear for drag radial so far... Expecting for six cars the oh boys are sure to roll in tomorrow... We have four poured already. Lmr reportedly hurt their motor sometime in the last 48 hours. Racer chatter at the track is wondering whether the oh boys are still dialing their combos.. Same for mark carlyle.

Joe is running all motor, i see sams trailer but have not talked with anyone over there yet. Not sure on the lashleys anyone know if they are going.

Syf coolray and brian are running, I think tim 99 ws6 is too. Steve hopkins indicated that he is coming. I hope a certain some one goes up to morton grove today and gets some shocks just tell jeff why you need them now .

I dont have a feel for real street. There was a rumor that lpe hurt the motor for the new white car but I see their big trailer maybe they will comment. I have a feeling this class is wide open.
