All smartass jokes aside, which are getting old, let's just update on the cars.

So is Tuff still without heads?

My car is together, and has hit the dyno, but those guys are dealing with a minor trans issue. Sounds like the car gets some time tomorrow. So it's right down to the wire and it sounds like it's 20% chance of making the race. So keep your fingers crossed or maybe I'll pray for rain (I know that sounds crappy to pray for rain).

I managed to bust a stock wheel stud. been meaning to put long studs on this 12 bolt anyway, so last nite i installed 3" studs from strange and should have my new lugs to fit them today.

that was about it. car should be ready to go other than trying to get my harlan 2 step working right, althought i don't think i'll be using it Sat b/c i haven't track tested it yet, footbrake only so far.

John please divide that 20% by at least 4 and the real number will come up, thanks.

30% chance of a FEW showers?

I was at Byron last Sunday getting sunburn. The weather foercast that morning was 70% chance on rain with damaging hail! It started raining about 3:30 coming back through Wasco.

I was really hoping you could make it, your car has been down for a while and winter is coming. Tell Jim and Dan to put in some O/T! Just don't tell them I said it.lol
