Good luck Ben, l hope we can all get together next time you are in town! Thanks for coming out this weekend. If you dont have access to internet, if you can get us an address, i could prolly get some snail mail sent to you. One of my friends at work said that when he was in the service, mail call was what he really looked forward to.
It was nice getting to meet you this summer, take care Ben!

SO far my schedule is up in the air. I'm the only one at work to day everyone else is sick or on vaca. so I'm in charge Fools!!!!
Scott I saved your numbers in my phone so if by chance I can come I sure will call you. I'm assuming we would meet around 7:30 or 8:00. I forget what time it all starts or if you guys watch the pre game stuff.

They will probably stick it to me extra since they know I was previously enlisted and am now going to be an officer.
Yeah, the Formula has been to the track once, but its best 60ft time was in the neighborhood of a 2.6, with a best time of something like 13.3. It wouldn't hook up worth sh*t. Its been lowered, with only control arms for suspension work done. I borrowed Darrens DR's but the best time of the night was actually cut on the Khumo's and it still was pathetic. Honestly I had a bit too much tire pressure in the DR's (like 25 psi). I was going to lower them, but had concerns about the stock 10 bolt holding together with more traction with a 441 RWHP car.
Down the road when I have money to replace or fix the rear if it goes will allow me to be a little more agressive with a stickier tire or one that has the right tire pressure to it. The car would certainly be in the low 12's to high 11's with traction, but even on the street it spins till highway speeds.
3rd and 4th gear pull like a MF though!

Thanks guys. Yeah, I'm pretty sure internet access will be quite limited, if not available at all. I'll try to get you out an adress though, as you are correct in the fact that snail mail is something that definatly brightens your day in a situation like that (there's not much that will that they allow you to have).
I'll be home for a few weeks during Christmas. That will mark my half way point done with OTS. I'm sure I'll make an effort to get together at least once with everyone then.

I suppose ask again come Thursday or Friday. If I went though I would want to be back home as early as possible. I'm not even sure how far away "41" is any help?

About 2 hrs and 50 minutes from my house according to the MAP people, of course we all know they go by the posted speed limit.....haha. I'm sure it could be cut a bit. "41" is in Morocco IN which is damn near the ILL line.
I was just throwing the idea out there to see if someone might be interested, I will probably ask again later in the week.

I'm glad I'll be missed, as I will definatly miss the weekend Halls hangouts with all you guys. You all definatly made my time away from the military an enjoyable one. Hopefully my need for speed will be gratified by flying since it will be a while till I can do the car thing again.
Thanks again to all! Time to go kick some ***! (Which will include getting my own kicked initially)
