I am watching, too. Yeah, they also make it look so nice and everything, and they are actually complimenting the way the track is hooking up... and I am thinking what track are they racing on!

11.7x here I come

Actually I'm not even sure if I'll have my car up and going by then, but if I do I'm hoping that the changes I've made will drop my times a tenth or two ?

Mark do you want me to drop your pulley off in the next day or two ?

Dammit... and I won't be able to race on Friday most likely.

Unless I take Thursday off and just drive around town for a few hours trying to rack up 500 stop & go miles real quick.

500 miles of stop and go by Friday... just try driving around on I-5 during rush hour Mon-Thur, that'll rack up those 500 miles of stop and go really quick!

I have a whole bunch of running around in traffic this week. One trip alone will rack up 140 miles and its 'stop and go' just about the entire way.
A driver would be nice...

Drop me a PM - this week is crazy for stuff to get done!

The pictures posted and watching a little bit on tv...its just not the same ol' "SIR". Assigned seating? In July?

All the crowds with nowhere to move are the reason I quit going, the same with the Hydro race day. Too many people live here even if it is good to see a turn out like that.
Move it to Bremerton!

It was only assigned seating in the Reserve area. The Gen Adm seats were wide open.

Yeah, I saw it... ouch. At least he made it out okay, just got a burn on his hand. Definitely would suck to come that far, win the race to advance into the final and then crash just past the finish line...

There were some pretty crazy races yesterday, that's for sure. The one of the top fuelers, don't remember which is was... but the right lane spun off the line, and then the left lave spun half way down the track... weanwhile the guy in the right lane got his car going enough to sneak past him right before the finish line... that was intense.
