That was my bird you saw Where did you see me ? On the way there I was by myself, but on the way back to Marysville I was with Sardog ( Jason ) and WAHUSKER ( Mark ). Sorry I didn't get to talk to you. We waited at the gate for 1/2 hr or so but it became obvious that they weren't going to run so we went to Marks and drank his stuff

And BTW the sticker is openroadracing.com

But here is the site so that you can register there and get to see some of the events, they have like 6 events this year that are big time, and they go out all the time to just have FUN! www.easternfbody.com I just came from there as I told you already and I am sure you will love it out there even though we are going to miss you! So I would not go changing gears or seting up for a 1/8 mile just yet!

Cool thanks for the info, i was just going off what i had been told, but you just made my day, yhea i will go reister, and see whats up. I would appr. if you would give them a heads up, I will be their the begining of augest.

Before I missed 4th because of a malfunctioning clutch I went from a fender behind to side by side or slightly ahead in one gear At least it was the way it seemed to me ? My perception of it could be off ?? I think after I do the drill mod ( tonight ) that we need to try that again Fair is fair though, you took that one. Run what 'cha brung right ?! lol ! I'm just thrilled that untuned it ran as well as it did.

I think that pretty much sums it up. I think we started pretty even, and I pulled a little to begin with. THen about 5k your car started to gain ground & you pulled about 1/2 a fender past until you tried to shift. Do the drill mod & I think you'll have no problem taking me on the big end. You gotta LOVE that extra 50hp from the cam!

I was there @ 5:00 in a flipping rain storm, it was nice all day until my son and I got to stupid Monroe, it dumped bigtime and they cancelled so we left, I didn't see anyone, got back to Mountlake Terrace and the sun was out. I was so dissapointed that I did a 6200 rpm shift in front of MLT Highschool and then turned left down to my house and in the garage it went



I didn't get Jasons cell # til now, I have no computer at home....yet. I'm in front of one at work all night so I don't really miss not having one at home. I have to get one pretty soon though.

I burned up 8 hours vacation time for nothing.
