depends on who's teching. there's that one ****** that's a nice guy but annoying about ****. he was the one teching last week and he was under my hood, was inspecting the dates on my harness, etc all kinds of ****. then again i was yelling out my window in line b/c he was getting down on one knee and giving all these fuckbag newbies in cavaliers and civics a 5 minute talk each about what to do next after tech. i recall yelling to him he wasn't the GLD first time racers welcome committee and asked if he'd like to pay for the 112 octane fuel i was sitting there burning while waiting for him to quit dicking around, might have had something to do with his inspection

ok story mode over.

May have been the same guy that was giving me **** for not having a DSL even though I did but was painted silver to match the car so he did not see it. I was like "BS, I put that ****** on at 11:30pm the night before, look again."

I would like to go sometime in the end of May. Preferably when it is not so busy. Maybe a weekday T&T. Seems to be less busy on those days. Unless there is a Sat or Sun without any events, only T&T.
