I will be! We'll be in the Tunachucker LTD, for those who have been under a rock. My name is Brian, I'm a nerdy balding 29 year old. My pic is in my avatar. Come say hi if I'm not in the car. If I am, just wave as you pass me. Try and enjoy 460 ci of V8 goodness as you do.

Anyone else?

Curmudgeon and I will be there with the trusty Civic again. Can't miss us, we'll be the only ones with a big stainless grill on the back of the car. Just got done doing an alignment on the car. The only things left is an oil change and install the race seat out of the Abomination. My name is Allen, I'll be the tall fat guy with the leather hat on.

Hong Norrth VS South. The General rides again!!!! If I had a reliable employee and/or not enough work, I'd come out :( Who knows. If the weather sucks and business is slow, I may hop in the car with suit, helmet, booze, and a couple EW blocks and heads and see if I can bum a ride....and some frogmore stew. You guys have a $20,000 cage, right? I refuse to drive anything but the best!

Nice. Not only that, but it's chrom-moly, tig welded and X rayed. We leaked tested it to 3 ksi just to be sure. We only deal in 4k circle track seats. We all have our own custom fit racing suits/shoes and gloves, too. I put in a fully automatic fire suppression system with four 15 lb bottles and 6 nozzles. It's also got two chutes - just in case, right?

Wow, that's some special stuff there.

We, on the other hand, had our entire car cryogenic treated...I left it outside on a cold night.

You obviously don't know what the heck you're doing. The only way to make a car safe at 100mph is to decoupage it in $100 bills.

I will be there driving the Galaxie. My name's David. We should be pitted close together, right? Otherwise how can we act on our lap time bets??

I still haven't heard the whole bet yet - we'll probably win. What does the Galaxie have in it?

It's got the lead-bismuth cooled reactor from a Russian Alfa class submarine. Doug figured that was the only way he would best the torque of the 460.

Either that or the 351W carb'd lump. Depends on if the reactor arrives in time to wire it up before the flag drops.

I also haven't heard more about the bet.

Did you weld the fire extinguishers to the cage properly?

Yep. Although I'll answer to almost anything if food or beer is involved!

Toyman and I were part of the crew marveling at the fuel cell implant that involved a skin graft from the roof. We were parked next to the Civic 'bee car', IIRC 2 spots up from y'all.

Should be there Friday morning around 10. Driving the boat dragging the junk. If you bust out laughing when you see the rig, that's probably me.
