Up early here. Just changed the oil in the Elky and a new K&N Filter. Trying to do a few things I did not get to do yesterday. Gathered more SBC crap to take to Brian, the new Count of Monte Carlo. Off to work in a bit. Will load-up when I get back from work.

Sweet!
I have installed rocket assist, pounded on the frame so more rust drops off, etc. Wife still asleep, taking the day off, so I can't get too wild in the garage or side of the house.

Time isn't passing fast enough!

That better George? lol

Out to the garage I go for final prep/tuning for the drive down and all sorts of fun at the track today :D

If anybody wants to link up coming from the North, just give me a call when you get around exit 170 or so and that should allow me enough time to get to the freeway right about when you're passing by :thumbsup: That's if I don't leave too early lol

MSD 6AL2 Digital is in with HVC II coil and pro billet distributor with timing locked. Started it last night just before 2100 and everything is working, even the stock blinker tach. Waiting for the locals to get up so I can finish the tune.

Lift bars are off. It was a long night.

George, do you still need some tires to use?

All kidding aside, I won't be on the squeeze this time out. I have a feeling a very small shot would catapult the WN well into the 9's if traction is good.

Digital Hyfire 6 with one step nitrous retard, installed, timing waaaaayyyyy advanced.

Car loaded, and packed with some Aerosmith, AC/DC, and some Judas Priest, just for good measure.

I'm out.:hurray:

Dammit! It's like Christmas, waiting for your parents to get up so you can open presents and they just don't want to get up fast enough!

I feel like a damn junkie trying to get a fix and can't find a dealer anywhere!

Antsier than a three petered horny toad! Dammit!

Really late notice, but Brian may not get there until up to 6 o'clock and he's loaning me his helmet for the day. Would anybody else happen to have an extra helmet I could borrow if he doesn't make it there until late?

I'll see if I can find my old helmet. Remember at tech the car runs 14's....

When you break the mark, as long as you have a helmet on I doubt they'll check the date.

Have you ever noticed that on race day things just do not go as you planned :mad:.

I have had a modified 750 Eddie running on my car now for a week, not a problem at all. now that race day is here it starts to bog again at the transition between primaries and the secondaries :sad:.

So I am pulling it off and putting my old 600 back on. I will bring the 750 to the track for further testing :yes:.

Do not worry George I will still be there. I just will not be able to give you the fight I had hoped for.

And if they do I'm screwed right? lol Brian said he's going to try and get there asap, but if not, I just want to make sure I have a backup :thumbsup: If you can find it, great. If not, don't worry about it. If I can't get a helmet before Brian gets there, I'll just have to make sure I run slower than 13.99 :p

Or just spend a lot of time getting TW ready for her passes :D

I'm out of here. Going to stop at Randy's Diner for some grub before driving down and at the gas station, as usual lol See yall down there :thumbsup:

Edit: If anybody does happen to have an extra helmet, just give me a call/text if you have my number and let me know or if you don't have my number, just bring it and I'll be extremely grateful and buy you a beer or something :beers:
