Larry and Patsy, just how are the sheep this year? I think Kyle is still mad as us. Do we get a picture of the new toilet?

Heading out for Norwalk in the morning...looking forward to eating, drinking some martinis on the veranda(tailgate)......and some racing.

Heck, I double-entered it at Piedmont that Thanksgiving! It made 18 runs with 6 teeth gone and at least 3 more chipped.

The first time I hurt a rear in the Volare, I heard it start to make a little noise, and thought, "Well, I should take care of that in the next couple weeks." The experience with Terry's car gave me a false sense of security. Nope, BANG on the very next run. Ever since then, that particular 8-3/4 didn't even give a warning, just bang. Glad to have the Moser60 in there!

We are heading out in the morning. My 8 3/4 is getting a little noisy but behind my powerless 340 it should last a few more years. We'll see you guys in the afternoon. Safe travels to all coming. Holgar & Kathy

I don't know what gear oil you are using Michael, but if you put in Red Line high impact gear oil, the gears will last allot longer. I checked my 5:86 gears in a 12 bolt with a magnet and did even get a sliver of metal out of the housing after 2 years. The oil is rated at GL6, which means the gears really never touch each other. Great stuff!

Well after pee breaks , food stops plus get some expensive Ohio Turnpike diesel ( who knew in Norwalk it would be forty cents a gallon cheaper ) we're here in Linders Lot and its nothing like I pictured and at 12:30 AM I wasn't expecting much .Tomorrow hopefully I'll get teched early and only miss one time shot .

I'll be the one wondering around in the morning looking for everything as I've never ( can you believe it ) been here .............Hopefully Larry / Patsy and Ken can get things handled and won't miss me .............

Good morning gang - All I can say this morning is that the adventure continues as I've already had to repair the shower and now I've noticed the fridge in our RV decided not to continue working during the night - if we have a RV tech in the house please call me at 610 533-6393 .

So you want good news - here it is - the high heat that we had yesterday seems to have leveled off some - didn't need to run the AC during the night - what a relief ! ! This morning its a bit overcast but not nearly as humid .Temps today will only reach the mid-seventies .

Anyone know what time they'll let us in this AM ? Stock is out first today but that doesn't seem to be in my furure at this moment ....

Back a little later - since my post yesterday Ken has decided to click a few pics - maybe he'll try again this morning if he's not sleeping in ........

Even with my verizon hot spot we don't have very good internet . Stock has made their first run. Lots of wrong classes so it may take a while to post on DRC
