Not me either. I haven't installed my line lock yet. I'll definitely be there next Fri though. I'm willing to bet that Clint will put 500 miles on the SS before then.

I might come out there for the TnT on Saturday but I will not make it for the competition racing on Sunday, which is Easter. I will be hunting Easter eggs!

Yeah you hit that one on the nose. We had problems with the clutch on friday, apparently there was a lot of air in the system. We bled it from the bled line by the tranny. That didn't work at all, apparently was letting air back into the system. So we pushed the car out into the parking lot, as it was becoming $$$$ to leave it in the shop on base. I did some research and through a friend up in Va. Beach told me to buy a pump and bled the air out through the resivoir under the hood. So we bought a pump, 45 minutes later clutch had pressure and was good to go. Clint baby drove her home, and wouldn't you know on I-65 a guy in the black turbo civic wanted a piece. I saw him coming up from behind, saw the intercooler and uuggghhhh yeah he paced Clint for a good while, and I got in between them in the jeep and told the dude to go! He took off and I was like good now thats over, well no, he slows down and Clint finnally rolls the window down and yells at him that he just got a new clutch. Ended up pullin over and chatting with the guy for a while. Nice guy.

Clint wants to make it friday, but 500 miles in 5 days in between work? I dunno if its do-able. Someone happened to mention that the track would be prepped good this weekend and thats all they had to say, he's now bent on getting the miles on it. Can't say as I blam him, but I still have no tires. I'm jealous

Anyone one have some tires I can barrow friday night or sometime on saturday? I have 16 and 17 inch rims.

Kick A**! I want to get mine or our Hugger in GM High Tech. A guy I know in Virginia has his 94 T/A in the next issue coming out. We had our little photo shoot of Huggers few weeks ago, I plan on sending that in, maybe they'll do a write up. Who knows.
