+1 Rodney, I have nothing to say, the whole situation just makes me speechless. I cant say anything but that everyone affected are in my prayers. Hang in there!

Also, not sure if there is anyone on the board from North to NW iowa, but Saturday night is "Flag Fest" cruise night. Usually packs the town of Spencer Iowa and there are always a good showing. I will be there, not sure if I will be in my car, my friends car, my dad's car, or my bike, but I will be there. Weather looks good for it too!

Probably between 6 & 7, if it is nice it will be packed, so the earlier the better.

Hey, I got called out by this kid my dad works with who apparently goes to Eddyville every Friday. LT1 Trans Am apparently with a CAI and a chip. Anyone know who this is? I think I am going to go earn some of his money.

As long as you hook and go. You are saying he is there every Friday, so he must be getting decent at racing his car. 1/8th miles comes down to the driver more than anything else..... I bet you get him though, regardless of start.

Only one I saw a few weeks ago was a red formula who said he had a chip and exhaust with ET streets. He was running 10's so I'd say your fine unless you forget to hit the gas.

A few of us are planning on going down to eddyville this friday night if anybody wants to go, its a good time

I will have ET Streets by then. I ran 8.3 on street tires before at Eddyville. I should be Midish closer to high 7's with the ETs.
