I am also bringing relish, kraut and some soft drinks to put in the big cooler. I will stop somewhere near the track and get some ice too, a few bags, the 8 won't hold that many, and no way they are going on the inside. did that once...won't do it again.

here's one to get you in the right mood for this weekend.....
Not sure where this happened or when, but it took me fifteen minutes to read this thing because I had to get up and walk around to stop laughing....enjoy.
STUN GUN (Only a guy would do this!) Pocket Taser Stun Gun, a great
gift for the wife. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Taser for their
anniversary submitted this:
Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol &Pawn Shop that sparked
my interest. The occasion was our 22nd anniversary and I was looking
for a little something extra for my wife Toni. What I came across
was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the
taser were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse
affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to
safety.... WAY TOO COOL!
Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded
two triple-a batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button.
Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, how ever, that if I pushed the
button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the
blue arch of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.
Awesome!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Toni what that burn spot is
on the face of her microwave.
Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself
that it couldn't be all that! t bad with only two triple-a batteries, right?!!
There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently
(trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and
thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh
&blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie
(for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such
a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my
wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance
that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong?
So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading
glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in
one hand, and taser in another. The directions said that a one-second burst would
shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to
cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a
three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on
the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries. All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5"
long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and loaded
with two itsy-bitsy triple-a batteries thinking to myself, "no
possible way!"
What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best...
I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to
one side as to say, "don't do it master," reasoning that a
one-second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt
all that bad.. I decided to give myself a one-second burst just for he heck of it.
I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and HOLY
MOTHER OF GOD, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION!$$!% I'm pretty
sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in
the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over
and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal
position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire,
********* nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the
oddest position, and tingling in my legs. The cat was standing over me
making meowing sounds I had never heard before, licking my face,
undoubtedly thinking to herself, "do it again, do it again!"
Note: If you ever feel compelled to "mug" yourself with a taser,
one note of caution: there is no such thing as a one-second burst when you
zap yourself. You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your
hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor. A three second burst would be
considered conservative.
SON-OF-A-... That hurt like hell!!! A minute or so later (I can't
be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), collected my
wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape.
My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. How
did they get up there??? My triceps,right thigh and both nipples were still
twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs.
I'm still looking for my *********? I'm offering a significant reward
for their safe return. Still in shock.

A word to the wise:
When standing at the service desk of your favorite Mazda dealer and discussing problems about your car and you ask a question like "What do you think could have caused the deferential to start leaking and need a gasket replacement", make sure one of your RX-8 Club "friends" are not standing next to you or you may get a response from them something like this... "Maybe it's the way you drive!"
Anyway, I've been having a strange oil type smell emanating from under the car, I noticed when I was changing out my sway bar last weekend that there was leakage around my differential and as it turns out I apparently was getting some fluid on my exhaust and this was causing the smell. The problem is now solved but I lost my synthetic fluid in the deal.
I also had them replace my coils as I found the first one bad when I took it off the other day while cleaning my intake. Good move as they were all getting the white splotches. Plugs were fine.
Track wheels are on, camera mount installed, floor mats out and I'm ready for tech inspection tomorrow evening.
Phlash, I did not have a chance to get the Propane tanks filled today. When do you need them? Friday or Saturday.
