hmmm....
Quite a dilema for me. I just got back from running errands.
I need to get the driveshaft loop put on my car if I'm gonna go racing tonight. It looks like the big weather front is going to finish coming inland, and Portland should get enough dry weather to dry out this afternoon/evening. If I had known for sure where you guys were going, what time, etc.. I would already be on the road.
If I left now, I might get there late anyways. If I did the work on my car and left, I would be late. hmmmm....
"How late are you guys gonna be there?," I wonder. Mapquest tells me it only takes 4.5 hours to get there. 272 mi. Hmmm...
I'm thinkin' I should probably work on my car, and then see how late you guys will be @ Hooters. I can always hit PIR on my way home.
I'm hoping to get this put in pretty quickly, as I got started on it yesterday, and I know what I'm gonna do.
I'll check back to see what's up after I'm done. If you guys are going to hang out there for a while, it might work out okay. Please let me know how long you're gonna be there. Thanks for the invite.

Okay
If I leave now, I should easily be there by 6:30 or 7. I think that'll work out okay. Looks like I'll see ya there. I'll just look for a bunch of rowdy guys? lol I'll mention the forum and introduce myself as Max.
BTW: would anyone have a welder they would be willing to let me use? I wasn't able to get the loop bolted on like I had hoped. (I know, that's cheating.) I would have had it done yesterday, but my friend's wire feed wasn't hot enough. Hot rodding the old school style.
Later,

That was fun guys, man I feel like a dirty old man (but I'll gladly go back) was talkin to hannah, the cute new blonde, sounds really cool and everything, she said she worked weekends cuz she goes to school during the week. So I ask what school. "oh I'm a sophmore at Jackson" why must god taunt me so?!

Yeah it was fun seeing everybody... always a good time to drink beer, eat fatty foods and check out short shorts.
And I wonder how that car in front of Mark on the on-ramp to I-5 liked three loud-*** cars buzzing past them with the 2 lanes shrinking to one?
One bad thing though was hearing my driver's side rear tire rubbing on that hard turn... good think I got those spacers coming.

Then it'll be time to plan a day at the driving school...

I enjoyed the drive, not a problem.
I rolled into PIR at about 12:30, the security guard told me that they shut it down @ 12. RATS!, but, oh well. I had a good day anyways.
I did take the chance to play around with the G-tech before I got home. MY best was 14.19@109, with a lot of tirespin starting out. I was trying different launching techniques to see what I could do, and I got a couple of really good, smooth launches where she pulled with no tirespin, but for some reason, I blew the 3-4? wtf? shift. I don't know if the tranny was hot and/or blocking me from 4th @ high revs or what. It happened 3 times. I was pretty tired by that point too, which may have been the problem. I don't know. Any thoughts?
So, I have a couple of things to work on before Bremerton. I know I can do better if I practice. I should be able to get the drive shaft loop mounted up before then too.-Gotta find a welder I can use-
I look forward to seeing you guys again.
