"ok, maybe I won't smoke him, but I'm gonna do my damndest to line up against him so I can see that thing in action up close!"... LOL would be worth the price of admission

Snowracer,I had the chance to line up next to Maddogg at last years Truckin Nationals,All I can tell you he left me so fast it seemed as if I was sitting still!!He was smokin fast and that was the old motor. Soon as he works the bugs out of this new engine,watchout!

I don't mind losing to Richard,he's a good gut with a great family!

How I'd love to go to the pre-party. Is there any benefit besides getting teched the night before? Anywhere to stay Friday night, as I have no accomodations and was just planning on coming down early saturday morning anyway.



Exactly what is the race schedule too? And fee? Maybe a link to a site that more than likely already has the info on it?

Guess I might just have to sleep in my pickup.



How early is early Saturday? I don't see any info about actual times on the website.



Just trying to get all my ducks in a row... . don't want to miss out cause I didn't know something ahead of time.

 

[Walcott]

Josh,soon as I find out more details I'll post them,If you decided to come down on Sat. ,i would try to get there by 6-7am. I was interested what you think of your new transmission?

mmmm... new transmission. Oo. Oo. Oo.



So, so nice. Will let you know for sure tomorrow night after it gets it's first true passes in at the track. Fairly bald tires, so I hope the track is good and sticky. Hope I don't have traction problems. So far though, in "practice" when I launch and lock in 2nd it flat PULLS!



I can do 6-7 am easily... cost me $10, but that's ok.

 

[Walcott]

you should be there!

I'll have my laptop at the track to post as it's happening,maybe new records to be set?No pressure Richard,Relax it's all about the fun!Ya right!

TTT is too short... . hmmmm

 

[blake underwood]

Hey Greg,



You gonna make it over here this weekend to Firebird???



-Sure would like to ride in the "Red Fox"

 

[snowracer69]

So angry! Depending on how much I get done tonight, as well as how much other people get done, I might be able to make it Saturday. Had a HUGE problem with our airplane design and had to go back basically to scratch... have spent the last two days staring at a computer screen drawing stuff trying to get caught back up.



Hoping to make it, but no gurantees.

Talked to Ken at Turbo Auto Diesel and MADDOG will be down to race,If anyone needs a hotel were staying at HolidayInn at Chandler/I-10,ask for racers rate of 89. 00 per night.

Look for all the diesels in the pits on south of track near or around staging lanes,it will be a blast!!See ya Sat. morn.
