Mike you can run a 5-speed in GT?

Yes, whatever engine combo you're running. Has to match.

We are loaded up and ready to head NE! Leaving at noon tomorrow, so we should be rolling into HPT just before 3. See you all there!

We have arrived! A few cars here now, lots of space (aka concrete) left. 74 degrees and lots of sun!

A most wonderful day for time trials today! We were extremely busy working some of the bugs out of our new FI combo, so I didn't have time for photos. Still have some bugs that will take time to work out, but we have a baseline to work with for this weekend.

We did discover that's it's beneficial to carry a spare O2 sensor. Brand new one quit, so our tune will be a crap shoot. But that's okay! Tomorrow is a new day! Just so happy to be back out racing again!

NHRA didn't have their tech guys here today, so everyone will tech in the morning. Gates open at 7. First runs at 9.

I'll put my 2 cents in...we're enjoying a beautiful day here. 77 degrees, 53 dewpoint, 28.8 barometer. Not sure of the car count, we just finished our 2nd Q run for the S/SS combo so I'll try and post a pic of the sheet when it's up. Gordon Breithaupt left with a hurt motor, other than that I don't have any human interest stories or pics yet. More to come.

I was told by Rob Park and Bob Blackwood that the tower is still trying to change over to the new classes, so I'm assuming that's why there are no qualifying sheets. Getting ready for rd. 1 now.
