Good luck Mike. Tell you're dad I said hello. Were not going to make it (car isn't ready waiting on Liberty trans to arrive). Ashton Hudson is making the trip with his CS Escort. Ed

It sure has been a long winter! I don't think we've ever been this pumped to get back to the races!

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.

Too bad you can't make the trip up, Ed! We're running this new combo with our old clutch and Jerico. Waiting on a new clutch from Youngblood and a 5-speed Liberty!
