Kept launching it, till he snapped an axle. Then, jacked it up in the staging lanes and swapped it out, in 38* temp. True story.

That's funny sheeit!

Well, it's official, I won't make it. Honestly speaking, I am pretty busy with work still and after this little rush I am very slow most of winter. Guy is coming from Chicago to pick up a car on Saturday and I should be here for him. I have peeps that can cover for me but it's much better that I am here for him. I am going to go to Atco on Friday though and get in a couple of runs so I will have an idea of what I am running.

I hope you all run strong and have a great time.

Cars are dropping like flies form this event. Is this event still a go?

I am planning on leaving Chicago at about 4 am Friday morning to head east to MD.

What time do gates open at track on Saturday morning?

Since my car won't be ready in time my wife and I will be doing this on the 16th. http://www.theultimatetitan.com/


Who all is still going to be racing? I really wish I could be there but my stars don't always align. Besides, it was a ***** making these turbos fit in the engine bay, but they are in.

Google Maps tells me 775 miles 11 hours 51 minutes driving time from my door to a hotel 30 miles from track, plus I lose an hour with the time zone and I am hauling a 50 ft trailer with two cars in it. If I leave at 4:00am I arrive 5:00pm at the absolute earliest.

These events always go off unless they close the track for weather.
Doors open around 9 but racing doesn't usually start until 10ish.

Look forward to seeing those that can make it!

I would love to do some obstacle course type race like that. I think I would absolutely destroy people. I have always watched the different stuff on t.v. saying you have to be kidding me watching people struggle. Like climbing ropes I go to the very top and back down with only my arms, no legs needed. Beast mode in a smaller compact body

Wait till you see how much weight I've lost since you were last at my house.

Told you I was working on my light weight driver mod.
