PLEASE NOTE: ---- for those bringing there cars into the conference hall please arrive with as little gas as possible. Fire Marshall wants to see no more than a quarter tank. Do your best to achieve this please.
We are susposed to disconnect the ground strap as well.

Ah perfect, good excuse not to install that new fuel sender unit in the next 24 hours, but I'll try my best to oblige by topping off about 250 miles out or so.

Getting ready, getting stoked, and looking forward to seeing everyone... the ones that are lucky enough to attend anyways.

Safe Travels!

Hey... I think this is the money making opportunity I've been waiting for. I need to knock out a few dozen of my carefully engineered StrapSafe™ ground strap / chassis isolation devices and sell them for a buck a piece. They're very unique and I'm pretty sure nobody else would ever be able to figure out how to reproduce this clever design.

Roger--

Wish I could make it, but...

Could you send a large "T ****" home with Jonathan L (RL: Kelanel) for me? I have a small parts order I'm holding until your excitement level dies down, and you can bill me then for the ****.


(hey, I spelt it jist like u did! )
