I'm still rolling... 30 miles east of Cleveland. I hit a few areas of light snow in indiana but have managed to average 61 mph with this big pig, any of you IL or MI guys wondering about rods they are fine even at these late hours...so no excuses not to make the trip.

Who's going to get the most speeding tickets back/forth?
How do MT DRs like the snow?
Marko if you still want to meet up on the East side hit me up. I should be good to go by 2pm EST.

I can't sleep. lol.
ALi is passed out upstairs, we still have to stop at the dealership in the morning. He ****ed up something from his fog light grill while picking me up from my house.
Anyone down for lunch around 3ish, pm me. Safe Travels to All.

Ok...so I lied, I ended up stopping tp sleep for the night 50 miles or so past Cleveland and woke up to about 2 inches on the ground, its snowing lightly but roads are not bad. Radar say I should be past it soon. Chicago guys, if you can take the south route through Indy it should be dry, but I'm no weatherman so watch tv to form your own decisions

Anything lower than 14s requires a helmet. You can probably borrow one form someone else. I know the rent out helmets at test and tunes but I'm not sure about rentals.
Yes your buddy can bring his Evo, there will be a couple others.

As I said earlier, track temps will be very cold. Dress appropriately and be careful since the track may be slippery because of the cold. MIR will do their best to make the track hook for us

My car isnt feeling that strong these days, I have a feeling traction is going to be an issue for me tomorrow as well. If I can go low 11's i will be happy. Looks like the weather is on our side!!

ROAST THOSE TIRES BOYS and get ready to break records.
Oh, and someone have extra "palm greasing" cash in case they decide not to spray the track.
I blew out my back so I will be basically sitting on the couch doing nothing this weekend. If anyone wants to text me some times or relay info, I would be more than happy to be the broadcaster of info.
PM me if you need me.
Back to Rum and Pain Pills.

I have a 3G phone, I checked the nationwide 3G coverage map and it show the track is in the 3G network coverage area, my friend will be posting some updates throughout the day. I am posting this from my phone...no need for wireless internet cards or wifi anymore...gotta love technology

Given the cold weather tomorrow, is there any point in being at the track when the gates open at 9:00 AM? Or should we show up later after the sun has done its thing?
