We're going to RT66 in the morning for some car drag racing anyone in the area is welcome to join us, We will be in a white trailer with Local 25 plumbers and pipefitters on the side, purple dragster. Might make a good ride destination. We'll be there again on the 15th of this month.

No, but I think I saw one on the way home.

 We were first round runner-up. The real driver is back next week.

Not a real long trip, I almost made it on a full tank of gas. We got show up points and tested the new data recorder. We're going to try some quick 16 at Cordova this year, The car will run 7.5's at 180, that should get us in the 16 car field.  Looking forward to the 15th hopefully some Chicago area honda guys will visit. I need to find a way to load the 750 too. pit Bike.

The track opens at 9, it's $15 at the gate, then we racers have tech inspection and purchase race credentials, a lot of standing in line. We got started going down the track around noon last week, There are a lot of cars there, they are running a top sportsman class with some really fast door cars.  It goes on until early evening. I'll bring some extra sodas and barley pop.
