I wish I could go, yet my car is still in pieces right now, so I will have to wait until RA in March.

You inspired me. I removed everything after work today. Took about an hour. I've got to clear up some wires this weekend and then it'll all be set.
Procured a truck and trailer today as well for the weekend, so now I'm excited even more.

Those I may need actually. I'll let you know. The inside of the car looks very baren now. I hear every whine, knock, and rattle much easier. It's a little disheartening, but it's to be expected in a 23 y/o car. I think once I nut and bolt the car this weekend and change all the fluids, things will be better.

looks like it might be cold...under 60, i know it is not snowmobile weather, but cold and rainy is the forecast at this point. I hope the rain part goes away, the colder weatehr I can handle. so, be prepared, for working or driving, for cold and wet.

yep, gonna be cold out. I will be ready for it, how about the rest of you.
I know the car will love the cold air, but for the driver it will be a little rough.

OD, I have you down as a spectator. Are you coming?
I've pulled my back out again picking up my automotive tool bag. I wrote Juli and requested to be on a reserve list because I may not be able to work. I will be there taking pics if I can't work the event. I can do that with no problem.
I have gotta start getting some excercise or I will keep doing this to myself.

It would not be good if it rained this being my first event and all. I have a set of Azenis RT-615's that I was going to run. Maybe I should plan on using the stock tires / wheels instead. I don't have room to bring both.

I'll bring a jack and electric impact wrench to use if anyone wants it. I'm also bringing the easy up. Do we want a grill?

I heard back from Julie and I'm on reserve. I suspect that if my back doesn't get better soon, I will be yall's "track ho photographer" this event which would be a lot of fun. I get to use my new camera at the track for the first time.
Lego, I checked on the Colony Inn in Camden and we are set for the 9th. I'm looking forward to some stories from the 24. I should be in around 10-11 PM.

Yall stay warm up there. Silver --hope your back eases off man--thats a bad thing to have.
If it does rain--for the new timers--careful with the braking--the backend will wiggle a little if you push a little too hard. Rain=SMOOTHNESS--and that is what it should be all the time.

Car is all set. Nut and bolted today... Fluids checked... Interior is now all stripped out. I feel like I should have fully caged it, but we'll see. Both temp gauges are working great (oil temp is running ~200 notmally). Getting an extra set of tires mounted Wednesday. I'm stoked now.

BTW, I bought the NASA Holiday coupon deal when they had it. I may have a coupon or two I wouldn't mind getting rid of at cost. Anyone interested?
