Yeah - we'll see.
I am not into making a 4 hour round trip for nothing with escort valving and racing MOMO seats.
If its good, we'll go.

If it was me I'll find me a empty road and do the race there, but that's me and I have something that both of you don't have, here in california we call them "HUEVOS" very large old and hairy.

You know, I kind of knew it that some BS like this would come at the end, I personally believe these two pick a rainy day in purpose, I am so pissed makes us wait this long for nothing.

Not for nothing there is just a 50/50 chance you will have to wait a week longer.

Yes - we have set the 18th as rain date since the start.

Also - remember that both cars are on street RADIALS - not dot legal slicks (like what come on the carrera gt, Enzoni and Micky F1)

I think you should both put some skinny X Plys on there to make it really interesting in the wet!!!

Jim if you can book weather, you are beyond these forums my friend!

Hey guys, it may have already come up and I missed it, but what fuel/blend will you two be running? I know Jim mentioned 93 pump w/ 25% Xylene for the dyno, but I missed the proposed mixture for tonight - if it was already mentioned my apologies. TMS I did not see a reference to your mixture either. Again, if mentioned my apologies. Looking forward to this much more than I expected. You kind of feel like you get to know the people on here personally after reading/writing posts for a while. Good luck to both!!
