One of my bigger screw ups.....

Chris "drooze" Wertman · 02-23-2010, 07:27 PM

Ok....well, as some of you have often suspected, both in private and publically here in the forum.

I suffer brain damage.

I eerrrrr......well......I mixed up schedules, and well I was a week off.....

So were in Atlanta, tommorow to have a running car, wrap finished today, heads done, all in anticipation of the Atlanta Points meet....that well, isnt until next week (ducks from the old man)

Anything fun going on down this neck this week/weekend ? Fridayish maybe so I can go home for Sunday do nothing day

Call SGMP if you want to T&T tomorrow or Thursday....I was told at Gainesville that they expected 10-15 cars there this week. This weekend is their big 20K to win outlaw race so no T&T there. Atlanta is having T&T and chassis cert on Sat, Reynolds and Gainesville both also have T&T on Saturday. Lots of choices if you want to run the car this weekend. Good luck...your continuing saga deserves a turn in the right direction!

"what class are u suppose to be running"
A/SA or AA/SA
Looking for something close to wring out any additional gremlins.
Someone else will typically be driving , but Id like to be the arse in the seat in case a gremlin is hiding somewhere "critical"

In Atlanta at current. Would like to stay within about 8 hrs drive....if Not Ill just T&T at Commerce...

Were gonna get some "photo op" pictures out of the shop in the next couple days.

We also took a really cool "time lapse" video of the car being wrapped....We have to crunch it, add a soundtrack and upload it, thatll be this weekend..

Cheers

I saw a stocker at the shop today which had been wrapped. Even the rear window and rear 1/4 windows on this '68 Camaro. FYI, that's a big "no-no" as tinted windows are not allowed.

We just had 2 new GM 2500/3500 service vans wrapped. We came up with a new design and it was applied over a white body. They are awesome compared to our usual solid red with decal lettering......They did mess up a little but overall they look great.

I might do my dragster in the future......

Lol.....I just had visions of "Fig Newtons" on Ricky Bobby's windshield....

Nope no windows....

Wraps arent perfect, there are wrinkles here and there and well....it was free and it looks GOOD....

Best of all in 6 months if we dont re-up with the sponsor......rrrrrriiiiiipppppp off it comes.

Funny thing was after seeing it, the first question from them is, well wed like to talk about extending this past 1 season....lol..

Seeing is believing I guess..

Funny thing is GatorWraps sponsored the other costs of the wrap itself, and theyre outta california, but the cars "National" debut if all goes well will be at the GatorNationals....ironic.

Im getting my sons Jr wrapped now Rich.....paint....cool if its mine forever...if not or its changing, never but a wrap now.
