Just talked with Molly at Red River as long as the temp. is above 50 and the rain holds off test &tune is a go this Saturday. Also she is having a meeting after t&t to discuss the new index racing. At that time we will also talk of our St. Patricks Day Bash, all that can please try to attend this meeting. Keep your fingers crossed, NO RAIN, NO RAIN, NO RAIN and a warm sunny day.

LOL, I wish mine was an auto all the time! I'd give up that 122 mph for some 1.50 60ft action

Clutch has seen its better days. I wish I had my damn shop right now! I'm going to yank the tranny out and put another one in it sometime when I buy me another truck to drive in the meantime which is hopefully soon. I'm tired of babying the damn thing around ALL the time! I'm going to need a fresh tune on the computer too, so I can get some of that "go slow" out of it. Still don't know what happened w/that last tune. It's not running as rich is about the only good outcome of the last tune.

The news earlier today was saying up to a .25" of rain tomorrow which isn't that much so hopefully it will come and go in the morning and clear on out by the afternoon so we can do this. I have to figure out how to get my drag radials down there since I don't have anyone to haul them for me.

I'm with you on the weather maybe it will come early or hopefully late. I'm lucky to live near Red River so I'll just put my radials and skinnies on in the morning and heat'em up driving to track.

Yeah but you have a trunk. I'm thinking about putting them on and driving down there on them. I get off at 2 and I still have to change my oil, do something with my tires, and try to make it before 5. Rush! Rush!

Then again I may just run my cooper's, they get pretty sticky for a Z-rate and save the DR's for March. I think I might change my oil tonight to get it out of the way.

Yeah I'm gonna get the tires put on my rims here soon but for now they'll be like they are. I just changed my oil and come to find out my headers were kinda loose so tightening them was a bitch. One I couldn't reach but it'll have to wait one out of 11 won't hurt. I might try to get the tires swapped over monday if I get the chance to. Everything's ready for tomorrow so it better not rain. Later got to go to bed.
