We're done for tonight -- S/C moved to the morning.........


You're on your own -- I've had enough and I'm on a plane in the morning .........
Jack man, I wish I could believe that crap doesn't happen at the race track anymore, b'cos it brought back memories of July 3, 1993, when during a near hurricane force windstorm at Denver's Bandimere Speedway, I drove away from my tool box (with at that time nearly $700 worth of tools inside), because the winds would've ripped my door off, if I wouldn't have, or I would've had shattered glass (which I did in the rear window anyway, by the gravel & rock pebbles that were prevalent throughout the northern half of the pit area--which since was paved all the way back to the final turn from the track), ...while fleeing for my safety. Once the winds died down I returned to my pit space to find not only my tool box gone, but my jack too! Fortunately I had insurance on the car (it was street-driven at the time), but that only replaced most of the tools. What really sucks about that is that it was another racer out there (most likely someone who only does time only/grudge type racing, and not a regular), because the following weekend it was announced at a Bandimere bracket race, and the tools were never recovered. If anyone ever wonders why I lock what I can of my things prior to a run, that's the reason why...

Like all others said, I hope that you keep after whoever that Kara person is, and the Div. 7/NHRA field office, and local law inforcement, because bagged parts have to be more noticeable than regular trash--they're heavier, and with sharper/harder edges???
