Well that sure sucks. I never got the harnesses mounted up so no racing for me, hence the no-show. Stayed home and watched da Bears and Greenbay both be big loosers. Should be at the next Fri fun night though. Should be.

Yeah weather like this always knocks 3-4 tenths and a couple mph off my LS1. Nitrous does wonders for this heat, and your headgaskets.

I was there at the track. Where were you guys? Oh yeah, it was 4:00. Everyone was gone. Guess I'm dumb for thinking that 10:00a.m.-??? means that it's going on for most the day. When it actually meant, "You better get your runs in at 10:00 a.m. cause otherwise your racing during the hottest part of the damn day."

So Jamie, spraying the mustang?

So what's the deal man? They don't look so good on the truck or what? You were pretty excited about them a couple days ago.
